Seems like a pretty reasonable measure to increase the minimum salary to $100k since the original stated purpose of the H1B visa was to bring in extraordinary talent and expertise that couldn't possibly be found in the US. I can't imagine what any sincere, non self-serving arguments against it would be.

It seems an argument against this bill is that the salary limit should be more like $125K or $150K. That is to say the criticism is: this bill masquerades as a meaningful reform but won't have much actual impact.

Right, or it just shifts the problem. Instead of replacing our $100k employee with a $60k H-1B, now we can afford to replace our $140k employee with a $!00k H-1B

You wont be able to do that if the employee is that good he will get poached for a higher salary.

And non-profits? Salary is not a measure of talent.

Non-profits don't have a quota cap.
