FAANG is pretty much US focus, although they happen to have a couple of sites outside.
So by definition programmers have to work elsewhere anyway.
Also not every culture sees programming as a worthy job, rather as kind of low level stuff that one has to endure for the real job, being a manager.
Naturally one can say since this is about Hollywood, outside US doesn't matter, even though the cinema working conditions is pretty much the same everywhere.
