Re: If you would just hire

You might want to talk to companies who do the hiring. One of the reasons for H1-B visas is because the quality (not just the quantity) of CS graduates in the US is so poor. This is partly because the VC industry doesn't really care about quality, it focuses instead on time-to-market, network effects for scale and an exit strategy.

Things may change subsequently, which is why you see things like Google's coding guidelines, Go and Rust, when companies need to keep systems running, but until then its MVP (Minimal Viable Product) and quality can go hang.
