They do, its just that they are a telco & this is a telco facility
they have *lots* more DC than AC.

Telcos have been around for 100 years; they know how to do DC; they
do it quite well; you might as well use what they got instead of
wasting time fighting for what is 'right'.  Its not like its all
that hard to get the gear that ISPs use to run off of DC.
