There is a significant amount of countries with similarly or better ranked passports: https://www.passportindex.org/byRank.php

Yes, and I'm sure after throwing away the US passport all it takes to get one from one of these countries is just asking them nicely, right? It's not like you have to spend years of your life living there or that your time has any value or anything.

I think that only people living abroad for a long time will have a logical intent on renouncing US citizenship...

People who are renonouncing their passport already have a passport from one of these countries.

You're not going to be renouncing your citizenship unless you already have another one... these people aren't going stateless.
