Fleeing your birth country to avoid national service, applying for citizenship in your new host country, and then never returning to your country of origin is a pretty strong signal. Naturalizing in yet another country is a fairly decent emphasis. Not sure what you're looking for. There is more to citizenship than holding passport you haven't used in thirty years.

Unless you're the IRS.

Apply that line of thinking the other way around ("There is more to US citizenship than holding a passport"). Its horrible by implication.
I'd prefer if nationality was being seen as bureaucratic artifact and not having more meanings attributed to it.

We'd all prefer a world without war too, but if nationality was just a bureaucratic artefact, who'd be left to defend Ukraine?
Is your country worth fighting and dying for? I doubt it. Neither is Ukraine nor Russia.

Depends for who it's "worth". Was fighting the Nazis not worth it either?
Dunno but Ukraine isn't.

When your scientists have to flee to become successful, is a pretty good sign it’s not going well.
Examples involve Marie Curie who fled to France, but is always considered Polish. Poland didn’t give her a chance to be recognized.
