Yet just yesterday I heard a caller to a talk show maintain that companies did not want H1-Bs because the process of hiring one was too cumbersome and expensive!

In this case Disney is not the one hiring the H-1B. Disney outsourced their IT functions to a vendor, fired their own workers, and it's the vendor hiring the H-1Bs. Since low salaries are vital to meeting the cost model of their contract with Disney then the vendor doesn't mind going through the trouble.

The caller tried to convince the host that it was more cumbersome and expensive to hire an H1-B.
