US, of course, have no outgoing passport control, and given the real possibility in Europe that folks will exit from a country other than the entry point, what gives with this intrusiveness - when I'm on my way out?

You guys are "lucky" you are US citizens - this is the type of treatment we aliens get each and every time we enter the US. Of course, if we would "roll our eyes", we would end up in shackles and handcuffs very quickly...
