Exceptions & anecdata can be found anywhere... I am not saying a graduate degree is the only necessary qualification, but one among other such as their OSS contributions, relevant work experience etc.

But strict enforcement is needed to prevent H1b fraud by body-shoppers. I do believe there is a significant need for H1b developers, just a higher quality filter.

Not just exceptions. I have hoards of friends who have bachelors degree and they moved in through H1 route, but now working in FAANG or similar competitive start-ups because they are skilful and are making 130k+. But I got your point, there has to be a quantifiable way to judge talent.
