I see the issue with H-1B really simple. Take into account all jobs + college students (STEM). If nationals can't match the demand, allow international students to fill it. PhDs are granted 4~7-years visa in specific fields (STEM). Companies will get tax breaks if at least 80% of their workforce have citizenship. The sweet spot here is to keep the foreign talent coming without hurting nationals and now more than ever with the advent of "AI". We'll see which countries will attract the most talented people around the world while also developing its own talented people at home and thrive because of that, and which countries will get let behind because of brain drain and innovation.

Meh, I only had a masters (like any European new grad), and arguably I was more qualified for my position than most STEM PHDs. Not to mention if we start requiring PHDs, the master mills will just become PHD mills. If a legit tech company or a startup wants to hire someone, they should be able to (and that should convert directly to a green-card). We just need to stop the infosys of the world. The "apply for multiple companies" fraud is extremely unsophisticated though, we can probably fix that easily.
