H1b is tied to employment, not to the employer. You can change employers on the same H1.

It’s not great. But this is similar to how health insurance is tied to employment, not to the employer. Both citizens and H1 employees experience the same abuse here

No it’s worse for them. A person on an H-1B has a ticking time bomb to find a new job or leave the country.
