A lot of self-promotion quotes in there from companies involved in the H1B visa industry. But one broad trend among them: this will empower developing and non-Western developed nations at the expense of the American tech industry - especially the tech industry outside the big 5 or 6 giants.

That presumes there is a shortage of qualified domestic candidates.
Or perhaps it presumes a shortage of domestic workers that are both qualified and also fit into the pay scales that US employers wish to pay. That intersection may be harder for employers to find.
So.. pay more? Like, a market? A market of jobs?
That problem is easily solved by adjusting the pay scales.
The problem with that solution is that then some Sociopathic Oligarch makes a billion dollars less that he doesn't need.
Corporate doesn't hire foreign teams because of lack of talent, it does because its cheaper.
Maybe now is the time for me to transition back into IT work. :D
Surprise, the salary is still on 100k rupees
