I opened the article with so many expectations. Then realized it changes nothing. How does having enough money to get a masters from US make one high skilled developer? The only people who are going to benefit from this are the American Universities.

Exactly that. I know so many people with masters degree that cannot code at all. They only learned how to pass exams but have no ability to solve problems on their own. I would argue that talented people would rather avoid a place where they cannot learn anything useful and universities more and more become just that. My view is that the US shoots themselves in a foot and that is good for other countries.
