> Education - especially science - is pretty lackluster almost everywhere in the world.
You're wrong, just because it is not visible to you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.You only have to visit a random science postgrad program and see students from all over the world represented - even at prestigious US universities, having immigrated after doing their undergraduate studies elsewhere. Their science education is good enough for Ivy league admissions departments, and those who get admitted are the very tip of a large iceberg.
> Most of the effects of globalization have already been felt - especially for knowledge workers.
This is a bold claim, which I think is wrong: a lot of developing countries don't have sufficient infrastructure (yet) to unlock their full potential. The talent is already present, but lacking connectivity and experience. The population share of the developing countries will balloon over the next few decades as developed world population flattens or shrinks.

Why would you expect students to not be represented proportionally?
If anything, you should expect a disproportionate share because admissions weight races and ethnicities - especially, if as you claim - science education is better (it's not) in Rwanda or Rangoon than The US or the EU.
> The talent is already present, but lacking connectivity and experience.
You are pretty much reiterating my argument. The developed world is, by definition, behind. This puts people who live there at a disadvantage - in general - to people who live in the developed world.
I already mentioned China and India which are >90% of the technology outputs from the economies you mentioned.
One would expect a country the size of Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Brazil, and Mexico to produce something. It is not surprising that they do.
Are you current with the fact that FAANG+M alone are bigger by orders of magnitude than the tech scene in any of those countries AND, importantly, that they are growing much faster?
