Work as freelancer while tourist in US

Looks like a duplicate of Can you search for a job when using a tourist visa (B-2) in the US
To summarise the accepted answer there: NO.
The visa requirements quite clearly state you’re not allowed to perform labour, they don’t specify that that labour has to be performed for a US company.
In fact you are not even allowed to enter the US on a tourist visa to go to a professional conference or training course, where you don’t perform a job at all.
From what I can read on the requisite websites, you probably need an H-1b or L visa, which can be very hard and expensive to get (the H-1b application quota for example are usually full for the year within an hour of the process opening for that year).
