What are the reasons to bring people to san fransisco in the first place and deal with immigration problems? Why can't startups just use a payroll provider like deel and have a semi-global team?

I think there are legal limitations like IP and compliance for some industries that make it tricky.
That's right. But many U.S. companies in fact do use Deel and similar platforms to employ contractors living abroad.
At least founders team often can't be semi-global. A lot of VCs simply wouldn't bother working with you if some people on your board are not from US and it's even worse if someone live in some developing country. For them it's too much risk.
