Is it different from the tax you would face if you just realize your gains?

The exit tax doesn't apply to "gains", it applies to the "value of your company" which is calculated in a way that often means you will owe thousands or even millions in money you don't have, and at no time had.

Most unrealized gains are a notional value, the realizable gains are often much smaller. The act of realization can cause a crash in value.
