If you live abroad & give up your citizenship, I think you should sign a waiver clause giving US government release of liability for any security, diplomatic services, basically anything you'd ever ask for. The US is off the hook for your safety and comfort, forever. Perhaps this is already part of the process, not sure.
IMO, depending on where you are living abroad, that might give one misgivings about turning in ones passport.
Isn't that exactly what giving up your passport does? And as long as you've acquired a new one from a developed country, you're probably better off anyway for safety and comfort (e.g. other countries may cover your medical care)
