Well the Netherlands really wants to attract Americans it seems to me https://expatlaw.nl/dutch-american-friendship-treaty. The treaty is one directional as far as I know (Dutch people who want to do the same in the U.S will find brutal requirements).
So yes there is a lot of strength in having an American passport...

When you can’t save up the 5K due to harassment from Nazis that treaty isn’t super useful
That's an index of how many countries don't require a visa. But you might someday care much more about how hard your embassy will work to rescue you if you get kidnapped or falsely arrested in a less rule-of-law-oriented country. A US passport really comes in handy in an emergency.

No, it doesn’t. It’s not helpful in an emergency stateside either, most of the people who’ve helped me since 2016 are European or Canadian
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henley_Passport_Index differs: looks like an IT passport currently beats a US (albeit not significantly) for visa-free travel.
