> why not just offshore it altogether?

Policy equivalent to tariffs to make it unfavorable to offshore vs hiring onshore talent. I.R.C. ยง174 implements this concept with an amortization delta between US and non-US based development and R&D cost accounting, for example.

"We can make you come into the office because we say so or we'll just offshore." might be challenging in the current zeitgeist.
