I think it's in the other direction of causality "Puerto Rico was broke, so they passed all these incentives in 2006 and enhanced them in 2017".
But it does create a lot of perverse incentives; it's a better deal for me to move to PR and do stuff than for a PR-born kid to go to HS on-island, college in the US, and then return to PR to run a business. There is almost an argument for constitutionality/equal protection.
