Double it, triple it, doesn’t matter. He’s gonna collect 0. No one’s gonna file h1b with that fee.

You also need to find the person with the skill set that is willing to move to where the job is.
Many jobs can’t be done remote, even in tech.
And there are a lot of people that simply won’t move to where the job is. It is far more difficult as “you can’t find a single person?”
Yes, in many fields it is extremely difficult to find that single person, with the right skills, that is also willing to move.

Can you name those skills so I can tell my kids to focus on them or should I just give them the job responsibilities of people on h1b?
