To lower costs. In my country most development work is done for outsourcing companies. You'd argue the quality you get back is "lower", that might be true in some situations, though I've found myself fixing fuck-ups from developers that make 2 to 3 times more money, most likely not because their knowledge or capabilities surpass mine, but because of where they happen to live and work.

Most of development work is outsourced to your countries. I do not think the lower quality is due to the knowledge and capabilities. As you know, software is not a technical stuff. It is a people stuff which is developed to solve real problem.

Once outsourced, the control of software development is decreased. The requirement fails deliver to developers.

One more importance, Software is a never-completed software but only released. Outsourcing would make longer for the release cycle of software.
