In another words they are afraid to lose their company. Do they look ahead beyong next financial quarter or couple of years and care for the interest of the corporation as a whole or maybe even of the country? (Allowing "workers to collaborate more easily" could be done by moving all operations to one spot in China).
So they do what you would want... sourcing these jobs in the US but for the wrong reason? Perhaps you just are desperate to find something to criticize.
