Using the h1b system to hire the top decile of talent is what I would expect from the program. So your use case sounds exactly what it's designed for. I don't think it's fair to defend the h1b still given the three largest h1b companies are clearly not using it correctly.
That's why I believe there shouldn't ever be a case an h1b is cheap…

That's why I believe there shouldn't ever be a case an h1b is cheaper than the median salary for that role. We want those spots for geniuses, because selfishly the brain drain from other countries makes the US better overall.
My observation/experience (also referenced in the Journal of Business Ethics regarding Delloite in a separate thread) is that companies often hire into the mid-level. I'm sure you've interviewed h1bs too and know what I mean. There are also a surprising number of poor candidates. I've interviewed several h1bs for Sr Engineering roles only to learn they don't really know how to program. As for the geniuses, we do need to make getting residency easier for those people.
