In fact H1B has to work for an employer and can not founder a company(at least easily or legally), you have to earn your permanent residence first, which takes quite a few years at least.

Correct. Many don't come right away to make a startup, they work, get contacts&experience and then the startup appears.

Yup.

It's a shitty system that locks you in to working for other places for years.
