Oceans have salt. Saltwater is bad for electronics beyond normal water. You also need a sufficient level of water depth otherwise it'll warm to surface temperature. It also needs to be price-competitive with traditional evaporative cooling.

Toronto is the textbook example of this working. It's on a freshwater lake that is deep relatively close to the shore, and the downtown has expensive real estate blocking traditional methods.
