These places will pay no taxes, create the most minimal of jobs, and pay next to nothing.

You are talking about a clean room chip fab here. They employ highly skilled labor that is paid quite well.

Then, when their tax breaks run out, they pack up and move to the next tax break.

Chip fabs do not just 'pack up and move'. They are horrendously expensive to build and run for decades. The whole place is a clean room for an idea of how difficult these things are to build. Here is a video of a tour of one of Intel's chip fabs.

They'll make a new entity that extracts most of the profit while the production facility operates at cost or even a loss. Jurisdiction shopping is a thing even within the US.
