How about you? Are you making a comfortable 6 figure income?
I'm strictly a recreational player, not a professional gambler.
It really seems to bother you that U.S. horseplayers are playing other jurisdictions. Horse racing is international now. This isn't the 1950s anymore....

I couldn't care less where you play. I love foreign racing because it is primarily turf racing.
A good investment of my hard earned money is where I can win. All of the wonderful things provided by HK do not make it easier to win. Transparency is a good thing for the sport in general but can be a bad thing for a bettor. Case in point, back in the 70s the DRF did not publish the splits in the PPS of the west coast form. Pace handicapping was a gold mine for players who made the effort to obtain the info from the charts. It was a sad day for me when the west coast form starting providing all of the splits for every horse.
