A UK Tier 2 Skilled Worker visa takes 3-8 weeks to go through; the US EB-3 visa wait time is typically measured in years (more than 10 for some countries it seems).
That alone is a big reason people move to countries other than the US for tech work. An empoyer can wait a month or two for a visa to come through, they can't wait years. I'd love to work in the US, but it needs multi-year planning and for lots of stuff out of your control to line up.
