When you see where the TikTok creators are heading now, you can more easily see the context of the U.S. ban. They're heading to U.S.-based TikTok competitors.
There is some genuine angst (which I share) about the Chinese government's influence/control over TikTok and the data it's collecting on Americans.

This ban is -- most of all -- combination of protectionism and hypocrisy.
