You are over simplifying a bit. Yes it may cost more to hire a H1B due to legal costs but only a small amount more at companies of this size. They have teams of people who handle that.

H1B workers are often paid less that citizens. In the long run it is probably cheaper to hire H1B workers even after the legal costs.

It is more fair at fang but that isnt 100% true. I see a lot of fang offers and they are often lower.
