The problem with reading that is that it is, I find, almost impossible to stop classifying people into sociopath, clueless or losers....
Culture of importing cheaper labor that they can manipulate. The H1B program is broken and ripe for abuse.

These abusive companies can "save" way more money by exporting the job than importing a worker to fill it, and pandemic-era changes have accelerated that.

The culture is "I want another yacht".
To be fair, I would like another yacht too. Especially considering my first yacht is really better described as a kayak.
