The only effect of applying to jobs on jobs.now is that someone who is already working in the US on H1-B, and was gonna get green card if you hadn't applied, would instead stay on H1-B.

Another thing is that the company must respond to your application within 30 days. Unlike Indeed or Linkedin applications which simply disappear into a void.

H1-B visas eventually expire. I think it’s technically a guest worker visa, so the expectation is that the visa holder will go back to their home country after working in the US a few years.

H1-B is an immigrant intent (actually dual intent) visa. I know a lot of Canadians that started working in the US on a TN visa, which doesn't let you ever become a permanent resident. They had to do all the paperwork (and win the lottery) to convert to H1-B status so they could begin the process of getting permanent residency.

H1-Bs are indefinitely renewable as long as you keep your job.

Okay but the 2nd order effect of doing this is that we're not permanently bringing in competitors for US jobs

I'd just like to point out that it seems like what you're ultimately against is pure capitalism. You seem to be in favor of Nationalism.
