There's no escape unless you renounce citizenship.

This isn't right. My wife is a US citizen and she doesn't pay US taxes (she lives in the UK) on her income over here, just on things like interest she gets paid on a US bank account she still has. She did have to pay some US taxes on her UK-earned income for a while when she first moved here, but not after a fairly short period of time.
Given that you have to pay taxes wherever you are legally resident, wouldn't this mean all US citizens living abroad would have to pay taxes twice? Noone would ever live abroad if that were the case.
