Suit types? Geek types? Windoze vs Mac? Discrimination? I think it is time for my involvement in this thread to end :-) Either that or my head is going to explode.

Why anyone would want their product to be created at some physical place is beyond me. Perhaps it's the suit types who think that if they don't have an employee under their thumb, the employee would goof-off like they would if they had the chance -- I don't know. But typically, us geek types like doing what we do and if left alone, we do it pretty well. This stuff is both my livelihood and my passion. If I'm not being paid for it -- I do it anyway (except for myself). I've worked for myself for decades. Sure, I've been offered numerous positions and have even considered a few, but two things happen during the interview: 1) They want me to work on their windoze machines, which I refuse to do -- I have my own system, a Mac, thank you; 2) Once they find out I'm disabled, things change. Sure, one can carry on about the ADA, but that's a bunch of nonsense that just keeps government types employed. All business has to say is "I'm sorry, but you wouldn't pass our health screening. And please don't let the door hit your ass on the way out." But, that's topic for another day. The point being, our product is digital and as such should be allowed to be created anywhere.
