> they would probably have to be dual citizens

Not at all true, it sounds like you're just guessing about what how you think things should work?

> And then they'd have to file taxes in both countries.

Not at all true again, regardless of where your house is, even if you're a dual citizen. The US is the only country that claims to be able to tax the earnings of its citizens outside of its borders.

China, Eritrea tax worldwide income of non-resident citizens.

A bunch of other countries do it in limited circumstances, e.g.

- French citizen living in Monaco

- Some countries tax non-resident citizens living in tax havens
