Sure, scammers are abound and the bad to good ratio is pretty high but due to the population size, the number of good developers is high as well.

My impression from talking with a few people from India working in UK and working with Indian outsourcing agencies/contractors is that India routinely gets cost cutting projects based on price/employee - this creates "coder farms" which breed code farm quality developers + the education system on the whole is inferior (from what I understand India took diploma mills to the next level). So the best talent emigrates because even with the remote option, the increase in life standard and opportunities from emigrating are worth it, and low skill/almost bot level development for rent culture reinforces itself.

This is not how ratios work.

Can you elaborate why that statement is incorrect?
If B/G is high, G/B is low. But if P is a very high number G/B * P must be a decently high number as well.
