Survivorship bias of beautiful math. Who want's to study systems that don't simply and compose well. The exception that proves the rule is the 4 color theorem - ugly big-arse proof generated by a machine. Who is going to look into

Yep a developer in that location. The market puts a high price on that. Regardless of same quality people being cheaper elsewhere. If you think the market is wrong then go try to arbitrage it. Maybe you can...

We don't need to give things up, just be willing to pay more for them or go without. We pay 1000s for a car and don't complain. But we need cheap portable supercomputers? What the price of something should be is as much psychology
