All the software on your phone and computer is made in the US, and that’s what you are paying for.

I’m using a Samsung phone. A lot of the software on my phone (especially the software I paid for with the phone) is made in South Korea. I don’t pay for a lot of apps, but the apps I paid for were made by developers from France, Spain, Japan, Austria/Germany, and the US, one each.
My computers are running Windows, sure, but my most used software would be Firefox, built by people from all over the world. Second place would probably belong to JetBrains Rider, made by a company headquartered in Czechia.

Yeah, Android is made in South Korea, right.

All phones and ~all computers are made in China.
> using a currency tightly correlated to the US dollar
Many currencies in the world are strong and independent of the US dollar.

[citation needed]. What sort of services? I’ve never heard of offshoring to the US, but I have heard of offshoring to places like India.
> speaking English out of necessity not just courtesy
Well, those guys from England surely have done a lot of conquering.
