It often just evaporates, since they’re using evaporative cooling.

So assuming the datacenter uses the water for cooling, what happens to the water? Does it just get released as steam?

Of course it would be possible to capture and condensate the steam but that equipment would cost money. If just using more water is cheap and unregulated there is no incentive not to do just so.
