> all my immigrant friends who started working the same time have already gotten their green cards

Well it’s happening because US is trying to give equal chances to all countries, by giving them equal opportunity and quota, the fact that there are way more people from India who come to work here is the reason you wait longer than other nations, no?

Why do we care about countries rather than individuals?

Because there is an yearly limit of how many people can get h1b visa -> green card in USA. If there was no limit per country then there will be a disproportionately large amount of a single nationality immigrating to US. You want to have diversity of immigration instead.
