This is an advice for all contractors, if you think that you are going to be hire, share some knowledge after you have been contracted, not before. If you are just working as a contractor do your job, but no share knowledge, because at the the end you are going to be fire, but your knowledge will stay with them.

Yes, btc was transition step (which started over a decade ago) towards shifting workers to low cost locations.
Current thinking is to shift btc to service providers for even greater flexibility/low cost (although debatable given current hcl performance in India).

We're mostly contractors in Europe already it appears. And I believe there's a lot of annuitants in the US?

Yes, as a share holder, I believe you are correct in your thinking
