It's not just the profits. It is also they don't want a third party to "mess something up" and then Apple gets blamed when something doesn't work as expected; "Oh, I took my iPhone to Joe's iPhone repair and a week later it doesn't work. Apple screwed up". In the same way that Apple get's blamed when a jail broken iPhone loads a virus.
I don't agree with Apple, but I think that blaming their response only on "profit of Apple on repairs or a new phone" is wrong; they care about their reputation and that reputation can be unfairly damaged by third parties.
If ORNL is using H1B to hire post-docs then they are doing something really wrong! Post-docs are almost always hired under J1. The J1 process is very easy, takes a couple weeks, costs next to nothing, the H1 process takes many months and is far more expensive. Check with the three working in your division, you'll find out they are on J1 visa.
Argonne National Laboratory (and maybe some of the other DOE labs) have "Pre-doc" positions. These are for college grads who are thinking of going to graduate school in a couple of years, the pay is not bad and it gives you a chance to see what research looks like from the bottom up. For some reason they don't advertise them very well. You can look around the research projects at mcs.anl.gov and then contact directly scientists involved in areas of interest to you and inquire about pre-doc positions.
