AWS, as an example, tends to only have 20MW to 30MW for each of their datacenters- anything above that they say isn't worth the hassle when they can just open a new datacenter. Power is definitely a limiting factor.
The point I'm trying to make is that, all things being equal, it's _much_ easier to handle un-equal power load between individual racks than it is to deal with the cooling side of the equation. Adding more power to a single rack usually just means a few more whips from your distribution. Getting that one extra-hot rack in the aisle to be effectively cooled requires a lot more infrastructure than running some cables.
