"Outsourcing isn't just grunt work. It's almost all work, but cheaper and with less control over the outcome. There will be no "guiding people/LLMs"."
It might not be only grunt work, but it is mostly grunt work. That lack of control has led to our org only outsourcing grunt work and low risk projects because of the higher failure rates we've seen. We are starting to use on-shore senior+ and TLs to oversee the work the off-shore resources are doing to help control the outcomes more.

Others outsource all kinds of work because talent is not exclusive to the US, but acquiring it might be too difficult. Also FAANG and the like perhaps didn't outsource, but definitely offshored much of their operations.
