"must be paid market wage" I'm not sure if that is the always the case. If everything was equal I'm not sure anyone would bother with the system.
I don't think a minimum would work as you say. The jobs I found were surprisingly common. I think the system is being heavily gamed. We've already seen evidence of companies choosing to do the minimum amount to claim they tried to find local talent with the explicit intent of using H1Bs.
I think you're describing the intent of the systems, and in your area it might actually work, but there's a lot of evidence that it is used in other ways.
