Clearly there IS enough talent... and it is overseas and cheaper. Is Microsoft really a “critical industry” that should somehow be protected from foreign competition? Why?

Microsoft shouldn’t be protected from foreign competition. Science and engineering workers should be protected from foreign competition to the extent that there’s a level playing field. We have bootstrapped giant IT industries in India and elsewhere. The net result of that will be increased competition for US companies like Microsoft. Even more dangerous is the possibility of strategic military or scientific breakthroughs by the adversaries we’ve enriched, China for instance.
Penny wise, pound foolish.
