Why put a limit at all.

  It is supposed to be a program for highly skilled people, but is often abused to just bring in cheaper people. If they are really difficult spots to fill and important, them the pay should be no issue.

    There are more than 80k skilled people in a 7billion population planet.

      Probably, but I don't think the H-1B program is meant to operate as a service for those people. It's meant for companies to bring some in if needed.

        Company demand >>> 80k.

    > It is supposed to be a program for highly skilled people No, it's a program for employers. > but is often abused to just bring in cheaper people. That's what it is obviously designed for, within limits, and any contrary explanation requires hoping the person you selling it to doesn't understand the relation between supply, demand, and price. > If they are really difficult spots to fill and important, them the pay should be no issue. Pay is always an issue; importance just sets the exact level of pay at which it becomes not worth it to hire.
