I can't access the link, but if the headline is accurate, that's probably a good move.
For FAANG companies - they usually pay all their employees including H1Bs pretty well.
But it's hard for Google/FB/... to even get a H1B visa for their prospective H1B employees because the cap is filled by a number of consulting companies that imports people from other countries (I think mostly India) and treat those people pretty poorly (bad wages, they might don't have the skills to make it in the regular job market).
In the long run, I think this problem will go away because people working from abroad is becoming much more common: these consultancy jobs and other H1B jobs will see a lot of pressure to be outsourced.
