But isn't it true that you still have to pay some sort of annual tax to the USA even if you no longer live there?

    No. It is not true.

    I lived outside the US for many years and never even filed my taxes because my income was less than $100,000 per year.

    If you earn a bit more than that, or you have income from capital gains, then may have to report it and pay taxes, yes.

    See IRS rules for "Foreign Income Exclusion"
