I am highly skeptical of this claim as well as the fact that relocation is paid for average H1B worker. Your experience might be typical for top paying SV tech companies but not the local municipal state government that is hiring H1Bs for manual GUI testing.
In any case, most H1B workers are hired multiple levels below their experience level so companies are paying less for more experience. And given that your average Indian H1B cannot jump to another job for many years due to the GC/EAD queue, they are typically coerced into putting way more hours than Americans workers that understand labor laws so companies are still profiting off of the wage/hr imbalance after the initial fixed relocation cost.
