Why can’t the heat put out from servers (and similar electronics) be used to generate electricity/power?

If we can use heat sources as energy, why not use it to put power back into the system?

They don’t get hit enough.

My company makes machines that take waste heat and uses it to make cooling.

Like we can basically provide a place cheaper a/c or cool their intake

But it requires much hotter temps than pc components can handle

If they ever make a 200 or 300c rated cpu we might actually see some sort of waste heat recovery in servers.
