Because all these CEOs and wannabe businesspeople think quality doesn't matter so why pay an American $50/hour when I can pay an Indian $20/hour? It's all about getting work done as cheaply as possible, and who cares if it's all a big pile of crap because it kind of maybe works.
Even startups have this idea; I'm currently working for a guy who has 3 or 4 business ideas he wants to do at the same time, and all of them involve like 2-3 guys locally who decide what needs to be done, and all the work gets shipped overseas to India to save a buck over hiring local workers.
IT is getting ruined in America due primarily to the fact that the oldtimers at the top have no idea how important technology is to them, and this burning desire to save money wherever possible by giving the work to third world countries.
