Not really. This is really Customs and Border Patrol/Immigration way of saying, you can always do the default/what everyone else does. You can leave and return six months of the year. The key is leave (which they do), they are already declared non-immigrant, and are self-sufficient.

Not sure what you are talking about. This is about H-1B, aka dual-intent visas. You can have immigrant intent.

Also, if you leave for six months, how are you even working in the US? Which is the point of the visa.
