Just talk about converting DC to MPLS and you will start having other kind of problems. 
IMHO, if DCs didn't massively adopt MPLS is because lack of training and what I call "end-user mentality". In lots of cases you are dealing with people that when you say "MPLS" they understand "site-to-site L3VPN using some magic technology" (that they don't understand). Others do understand some tiny bits but see it as a "carrier technology". And there's enough of them so that manufacturers take their opinion in consideration. Result => VXLAN.
Those being said, there are DCs that managed to go the MPLS way, but it looks more like an exception rater than the rule. Unfortunately.
