You make renouncing citizenship sound far easier than it is: renouncing US citizenship is irrevocable. You might have elderly relatives you want to look after once they become too frail to look after themselves; you can't do that on recurring tourist visas. You won't be able to see your relatives for extended periods of time.
(plus you still have to pay outstanding taxes, plus an exit fee that goes up substantially if you make a lot of money;
plus I'm pretty sure the Swiss median income, for Tina Turner's example, is higher than 120k USD per year so you're always paying taxes)
