“ H-1B visa holders are paid “significantly less” than their counterparts doing equivalent IT roles which gives them a leg up with employers who are looking to pay less”

Nothing to do with salary and everything to do with benefits. An employee’s health care, unemployment insurance, contributions to retirement plans all go away with H1B. The employer uses that savings to alleviate the company’s costs.
