You are not wrong. It is dehumanizing (for Indians in particular), and downright dystopian for some. However, people still go for it because they have significantly better career and financial prospects taking a tech job on a H1 in the US, in comparison to their home countries. It's a positive expected value bet, even if xx% of people end up with a negative outcome. Further, many people aren't aware of the negative outcomes or come from rich families who can withstand it. While others hope that even if they don't get the H1, they can at least land a good job with a neutral outcome back in their home country or in Canada/UK.
