The USA also has an exit tax of a few grand to renounce, so they basically hold you at gunpoint that even if you leave the US for good and never use any of their services or even consular services you have an 'original sin' that forces you to keep filing or pay up the fee to leave the gang.

.. that's not the exit tax though. That's the fee to process your exit. If you do have a substantial networth there is an actual exit tax on your total net worth

Is there a reason processing an exit takes more than, let's say, the $165 it costs for a first-time passport?

It looks to me like they're both taxes.

Of course, they have to make sure you’re in all the ‘naughty’ databases too (/s)
