That's a lot like saying agriculture wouldn't exist in it's current form without importing cheap labor that can be (and is) abused. It's still wrong.

The H1B game, as it's played today, is a relatively modern invention, and was not used to build startups into mega corps anyway.

American agriculture would not exist without seasonal workers from Mexico, farmers love their H-2B visa for seasonal workers (oh, the irony)

Especially Americans working at John Deere, Dow Chemical and all the food processing
