The issue with that line of reasoning is that it will result in a balkanized internet, accelerating what we're already seeing (US companies are under increased scrutiny in the EU, if the US bans TikTok I expect the EU to be more heavy handed on US companies).
We should expect end-to-end encryption and strong privacy from all applications, reducing the attack surface for malicious applications like TikTok or Google.
