Outsourcing to budget contracting houses in India is a very different experience to hiring individual remote employees from overseas.

I think the presence of international standards like the one potentially being established by GDPR makes outsourcing easier, not harder.
It would make little sense for an Argentine developer to learn the intricacies of Slovenian data protection regulations. It makes a lot more sense for her to learn the intricacies of GDPR (and whatever the US comes up with).

Even if there are international treaties (which is not going to come soon, given the state of global diplomacy) one day, the core principle of GDPR is to minimize data holding and transfer.
Saving a couple dollars on wages for corp drones? I highly doubt this reason is going to fly well under that principle.
Not really. Too many companies have been badly burned by IT outsourcing clusterfucks, additionally as soon as customer data is handled stuff like GDPR and whatever the US plans to follow suit (and they will have to, in order for a successor to the Privacy Shield deal to pass the EU court system) come into play which makes outsourcing "drones" ... not really worth the time.
