Don’t forget that the real utility of these H1B is for citizens of countries that exceed their EB quotas, which are primarily India and China just on the basis of their demographics. Without more serious reform of the immigration system I see this as a positive step towards raising the bar on those extra quotas.

This. H1B should still have to align with America's immigration goals of allowing people form all over the world in, not just certain countries. It was hard to get the entrenched systemic bias for western europeans opened up and it seems like H1B is now captured in the same way by a few ethnic groups.
