He says there that the US is one of the few countries which doesn't do exit checks for immigration.

Is that true? I hadn't thought about this.

I know the Schengen zone does, as well as China and much of Latin America, but in my experience the UK doesn't. Does Australia/New Zealand/Canada (my feeling is that Australia doesn't)? What about Asian and African countries?

I had to go through a Border Force checkpoint[0] with facial recognition and a fingerprint scanner on the way out of Tullamarine last year. There may or may not have been a way to opt out.

[0] they call it a "smartgate", presumably because it sounds less invasive than "biometric checkpoint", see https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/smartg...

Canada does not, at least not while traveling to the US
