> There is truly nothing remotely like the "you have to pay us if you own 1% of any LLC anywhere and move out" approach Germany has.

To be clear, this is if you move _your company_ out of Germany (which I don't think the article makes very clear). In those terms it seems to make a little more sense. As outlined in this comment.[0]

The double income taxation of their expats that America, Eritrea, and Myanmar do is a bit different, but I think they have double taxation agreements with most countries. So in actuality most Americans don't have to fully pay the double tax (depending on where they live, and how much they earn) though they still have to file and everything.
