So why haven’t a bunch of American IT folks gotten together and formed a killer company that will wipe the competition out by hiring all these great Americans and paying them far above market?

Because that wouldn’t make news.
I’m an engineer. Worked for an oil company. Realized I was being used in exactly 6 weeks. Learned what I could learn in 2 years, saved my money and made contacts.
I now have a couple of planes, one I fly, one I have flown for me.
You can't kill off foreign competition. Indian companies, for example have a home-field advantage in their own country. I have no problem with competing against workers functioning in their own country. I do have a problem with H-1B being abused to curtail my competitive advantage in this country. A programmer in India can make half of what I do and live quite well. He should stay there.
