No, these are not the "real" reasons. It's actually very simple and this applies to immigrants from many other countries such as Russia and Brazil as well which have same brain drain issue in development.
If you were a software engineer or a scientist working in US, you are making same amount of money in 1 month that a person with exact same background would make in roughly 5 months. Think about this for a while. You are working in a office in India, your colleague accepts an offer for a job in US and tell you that he is going to get your entire annual income in just about 2 months while doing exact same job as you are doing. How much incentive would you still have to continue working in India?
