Does it really matter? We live in a time where there’s no necessary relationship between the government that you pay taxes to and the one that supports the people who pay you. That’s what remote work makes possible. You’re suggesting that free movement is wrong and that people owe a debt to whichever government they happened to be raised under.

Free movement is not wrong, but there is a reason that many nations including the United States charge an "exit tax" for renouncing citizenship.
What is the reason for the US to charge an exit tax to someone that was born in the US, is raised and makes a fortune in Chile, and then that person decides to renounce his/her US citizenship ?
