Anyone think that WWE should have kept the WCW Power Plant when they bought WCW?

Good God, no.
They have their own power plant called NXT. It is much better than the Power Plant.

OVW was a Partnership, WWE didn't own their own developmental territory unlike WCW did

Apparently not because their training sucked.
WWF had to basically retrain Big Show.
Goldberg was also never trained to work anything more than a 30 second squash match and the longevity of his career suffered for it.
That little Sarge guy was terrible. Even wrestlers who were "trained" by that little bastard say he was terrible.

At least the WWE doesn't have to worry about partnerships with the Performance Center and NXT. If you come to think of it, the Performance Center is their version of the Power Plant. Apparently not because their training sucked. WWF had to basically retrain Big Show. Goldberg was also never trained to work anything more than a 30 second squash match and the longevity of his career suffered for it. That little Sarge guy was terrible. Even wrestlers who were "trained" by that little bastard say he was terrible. Ahh, I remember when the WWF sent the Big Show to OVW in 2000. You are right about Goldberg.

I watched a Louis Theroux documentary on Wrestling and they showed how cruel Sgt Buddy Lee Parker was to traineees

Vince keeping the Power Plant would have been an admission that WCW was doing something right.....and as we seen MULTIPLE times with Vince? That would be too much for the fragile egos of himself and his cretin daughter to take.

Off topic but Joker, I totally imagined the tantrum that Steph gave at Survivor Series (2014) to be exactly what she did backstage when Vince told her that Hogan was getting the strap in 2002!

LOL..Yeah I could see that.....supposedly She was VERY upset. But Vince was correct here. Honestly it served them both right.
