I don't have an intricate knowledge of US tax treaties, so I have no idea if this is always true, but it is not a standard that is applied internationally, as most Dutch tax treaties to avoid double taxation do not work in that way. They often exempt you from paying the Dutch tax (if you would otherwise be obliged to), when you have already been taxed in another country, regardless of where the tax rate is the highest.
What is obvious though, is that you need to be a high income earner to have to pay taxes when you leave the US, and this often puts you in a position to be able to lower your effective tax rate in a lot of different ways.
