> the point visa makes it pretty much trivial for well paid engineers to get a work visa in the UK

It's not that simple. Well-paid engineers often have families (spouse/partner, children), and hurdles to bringing in family mean I've seen well-paid engineers come to the UK in recent years, have the visas for their family refused, and so they have to leave.

Also, the UK has a corporate culture that under-values engineering and other technical departments.

I'm British but I work here in the US because I literally get paid multiples of what I'd make in the UK doing the exact same work.
