I’m just spitballing here, but why would you pay taxes on your way out? I mean torch the passport, make an afternoon of it by all means. But pay a fee and tax? Just leave right?
The US is one of the only countries in the world where citizens are taxed even when they don’t live there (and haven’t for many years). If you don’t pay taxes on your way out but you have to visit for any reason, cops can arrest you when you re-enter.
Don’t forget to renounce your US citizenship. It costs just $2300 + income tax on everything you have
This is why you wait until the wars start and it’s free.
Could you explain this? I don’t know the context.

Because as long as you’re US citizen, they will persecute you for every penny of income tax even if you work abroad.
