Tell that to the people that make the visa processes so complicated (I have first hand experience). It takes a lot of work and money, You can't travel easily (have to get stamps abroad at risk of loosing job if you get in administrative review), with some of the visas for the most talented people (O1) you have to exit the country immediately if you loose your job, why would you ever want to go over all that again unless you have ties in US (which often you didnt have time to make with 1-3 years visas). Also the tech scene is already popping out outside of US but as it is not english-first it is harder to observe from the US. Immigration policies for talented workers have gone from hard to repulsive and even if it gets reversed now (there isn't a lot to do, and the impact on the economy could be huge) it will take at least a decade to undo the damage... And this is not just the repeated attacks from the previous administration, this started way before.
