It isn't? They've been trying their hardest since the late 90's, and have never been able to make it work. They'd love to pay $1.00/hour for programming work in Bangladesh like they do for textile manufacturing, but as of a quarter-way through the 21st century, they haven't been able to.

It isn’t. There is a cost, it doesn’t make sense right now to pay those costs beyond a few R&D centers. But make work visas harder to get in the USA, then it will make sense to do more R&and abroad.
