H1B visa holders for example. To change job you need an entire new visa application which is not guaranteed to win the lottery. Even Facebook employees can have limited options.

And it’s not just engineers. Cleaners, cooks, maintenance people.

The cleaners, cooks, and maintenance people really aren't the problem at Facebook.

Nope - visa transfers when changing employer aren't subject to the visa cap and don't have to go through the lottery. At present premium processing is suspended so it can take up to 6 months, but that's not always the case.
