I think the main reason is tractability. It’s non-obvious how to steer policymakers towards more migration-friendly policies. Lots of non-EA orgs do broad advocacy for things that they think are important, even if tractability is low. EAs tend to do much less (apart from the existential risk guys who have a different calculus).
BUT there’s still stuff going on Check out Malengo! And Charity Entrepreneurship are incubating a migration-focused program. Neither of these have a particularly capitalist framing, although neither are explicitly leftist. You should check them out!
