I have no skin in this debate, but the companies I have worked for simply see a line item on their budget they can shrink after a product has been built. They use a small team of western devs to build and launch something and they go "Why do we need to pay this team to sit here and fix bugs??". They move the team somewhere else and hire an offshore team to manage the project. Project runs fine until something crucial needs to be fixed or a new feature needs to be added. Thing gets duct taped together until the project collapses. Repeat ad infinitum.

Surely, they could use their supreme knowledge and avoid this situation, by taking the decision to not hire underpaid/unskilled developers?
