Are exit stamps a thing in Schengen area for EU citizens? I usually just pass an automatic gate after scanning the passport. It does not have any European marks.
Stamp is historically a permission to leave, which EU citizens do not need: we are free to leave and return back.
They are at least for nonEU ppl. Friend got in big trouble because border agents didn't stamp her passport - she went to the us, got an exit stamp but no entry or exit stamp from us and no entry stamp in eu (lots of ppl got lazy...). A routine visit to immigration office suddenly turned into pretty strict questioning and several hours of waiting until they check her passport.
AIUI the stamps are to record your stay duration in the zone and to determine if you've complied with the stay limit (90 days in 180 days). The limits do not apply to EU citizens, hence no stamps needed
I get EU stamps when I pass through Schiphol to and from non-Schengen countries, on my non-EU passport (though I'm a resident of NL.) I don't get stamps from the country that my passport is from, as I'm going through the automatic entry gates at that end anyway.
Curiously, just checking now, I didn't get any stamp on the UK side when I went to/from Scotland by plane a few years ago.
