There is an easier way - put an absolute cap on larger companies, or make the fee increase exponentially. This way, smaller companies can still get the talent they need, larger companies can't abuse the system. There already is a clause for "H-1B dependent" companies - if your employee pool is over 15% H-1B, you get classified as one of these. There are additional attestation requirements, but apparently not enough of an impediment.

Large companies will create smaller companies to do the hiring or will work through proxies.

Put in an general avoidance rule like they do for tax and/or have the IRS sign off on all H1B as they have an interest in maximizing the tax take.
