it's not just saudi arabia, it's all of the gcc with some variation. kuwait does a better job than us, they're reviewing all naturalizations that occurred and revoking them retroactively.
see how westoids are crying about it:

qatar gives riffraffs temporary citizenships to participate in sports because there are only 300 thousand qataris and like to punch above their weight, but those citizenships are not permanent to the best of my knowledge, according to what my qatari friends told me.
bahrain used to naturalize a lot of jeets for political reasons, but the rest of the gcc pressured them to stop it. hopefully we'll pressure them to revoke those because it's unacceptable, a jeet with a bahraini passport technically has more or less the same rights as me in saudi arabia which is absurd.
uae gives citizenship to women married to emirati men under the condition that they give birth to x children and raise them until adulthood (i forgot the number). i'm not aware of any path to citizenship for men.
but you get the idea.
the american policy regarding its soldiers (and citizens abroad) is actually smart from a long-term pragmatic point of view if you think really hard about it.
