"Taiwan" passports say "Republic of China" on them.
My passport stamps from when I entered Taiwan say "Republic of China".
Taiwan is just _one_ of the islands that the ROC controls. Calling the ROC "Taiwan" muddies the conversation and helps the PRC narrative that "Taiwan is a province of China".
The ROC has been a de facto independent country since 1912 when it was founded. The existence of the PRC since 1949 has not changed that.
