Yes, that's important correction. Buyers seek lowest costs. And manufacturers and govs often try to achieve that by cutting labour costs. So still a race to the bottom, partly perpetuated by buyers.

Agreed but it doesn't have much explanatory power for B (compared to other countries or possible alternative histories etc ) buyers everywhere, of everything, choose lower price ( for same quality, speed) - firms upgrade in some places but not others
