I'm guessing it's so you don't have to pay taxes anymore!

why the hell would anyone pay taxes if they never planned on coming back to the US?

You never heard of the status of American Citizens worldwide eh? Dunno about outside EU, but here in the banking system it's a thing. And it means the US knows about you and they want your money. Or rather, their money. Don't care where you live, it's their money and the US strong armed all fucking banks they could into this.
