I don't think anyone is talking about worker shortage, but rather about qualified worker shortage.

Which also doesn't exist. What does exist is a qualified worker shortage at low salaries.

A lot of the H1Bs are more skilled at resume stuffing than any actual technical skills.

This is as much a sweeping generalization as saying Americans are unqualified for tech jobs. There's an interview process for hiring H1Bs. So if you don't like their technical skills, you're free to not hire them.
