The problem with H1B is that you are serf to your sponsor. If H1B was instead work visa that once you enter the US, you are free to work for 10 years the situation would have been different.

You are free to move on a H1B as long as you find a new employer willing to sponsor it - Bonus: you don't even need to go through the procedure again with USCIS

Not right, but not entirely wrong either.

The process for an internal, expedited H1b transfer is significantly simpler than an H1b from scratch.
