You can only renounce US citizenship if you have citizenship somewhere else. There are millions of Americans that live outside the US that only have US citizenship and therefore cannot renounce.

And those people are all receiving benefit from that citizenship. If for some reason they were forced to leave, they'd have a place to go. If they had no such place, they'd be refugees.

It's a situation the host country is obviously happy with as well, otherwise they would offer citizenship and the problem would be solved.
