Probably because they're in jobs that don't have that kind of mobility
It’s hard to get a good paying, remote US job and live outside of the US as non-US citizens. Plus as non-US citizen, I think there’s limit in how many months you can stay outside of the US before your residence or work visa gets revoked, you’ll need to budget in traveling back to the US every twelve months or so.
Yes. It was every 12 months for me back then. Or you can apply for a re entry permit that typically gives you 2 years

Or why a US citizen goes to a zero tax state and finds a low cost of living spot. That’s what I did. Not everyone wants to make sacrifices. At the end of the day people want a certain lifestyle. “Life is too short”. They get emotional.
States make their revenue up in other ways, often with housing costs. If I could get work to pay for me to live in a no-tax state while I travel for work and live in hotels on their dime, I’d do that for sure.
The good paying jobs in those countries are very hard to get
I'm sure the non-US citizen has some of the same issues as US citizens. Sometimes we want to be near people that we know or are familiar with.

Education for children, healthcare access…
Lots of possible answers here but one i'll offer is that lower cost area will also give me a lower income and the more i wont be able to take provide for elderly (yes unfortunately part of the generation that is the elderly's retirement lol)
The higher income in a higher COL area still gives me a better savings rate
Language, cultural preferences
Because Dubai is very expensive and would delay FIRE
Health insurance and quality of life is a big factor.
