Same answer as for India and all the other cheaper locations; it's easy to get simple development done thanks to all the (chiefly American!) tools for drag and drop development, testing etc available nowadays, but having a team of people with the vision to come up with something new (and therefore difficult; you're not just doing a cheap shitty version of something which somebody else already invented), functional (bug free - yes, the code compiles and passes the tests you knocked together but does it actually work in the real world), scalable and competitive with the systems it attempts to disrupt isn't quite the same thing, is it. On the positive side, I do get a lot of phone calls from Microsoft in India offering to fix my computer problems if only I'd let them use remote desktop to connect to it.
