Do you think Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs go out of their way to hire foreigners just because they are cheaper?

Why wouldn't they? For a profit-seeking entity, lower costs seems like a good reason to me.

Yes,

Instead of hiring a junior/mid-level American expert as an assistant, for example, they get a highly qualified foreign expert at the same price.
