"Becoming viable" does not mean "automatically put into execution". You still need to take overall demand in account.

Consider this: if demand was not a factor, anyone living in a moderately wealthy country would be practicing labor arbitrage and sending money to poorer places. Ask yourself why this doesn't happen.
