“over the threshold, you’re expected to pay taxes”
sort of, that’s the “up to 125k” limit part of the FEIE(readjusted for inflation every year).
you still don’t pay taxes on the first 125k.
earning more than 125k is not a problem most people have.
The problem most people have is not knowing that the feie exists in the first place and there are legal, straightforward ways to avoid paying income tax while saving money traveling.
“no matter if you’re also paying taxes wherever you currently are…”
this is very iffy and depends on a lot of factors.
again, for most regular people, foreign income tax credits will erase most financial duties to the US.

“The US is the only country in the world…”
nearly.
“It’s not normal.”
nope, it’s definitely weird and it sucks.
but at least there’s the FEIE.
