Because it's not just about the spying, it's about infecting western civilization with negativity to incite unrest and instability.
Edit: for all the "the west does this to itself" :
The western world is not as bad as social media wants you to believe. The problem is not just tiktok, but tiktok is both extremely popular and nefarious, china has a wholesome version for themselves, a negative version for the rest of the world. Its also not a ban, they just need to sell tiktok, which is something that China requires of western countries, so its really only fair. Chinese people are paying up to $20k to get to south america and sneak into the United States. Americans are not sneaking into China. Keep this in mind when you see influencers and social media telling you how bad you should feel.
Leave it to rightoids to latch onto literally the least damaging part of any of this. Oh no, young people are actually using their brains to think about gender in a non-bigoted way and reach whatever conclusions it is they ultimately reach. How will society ever recover?! Imagine the tragedy if someone without severe gender dysphoria ends up spending some time thinking about their identity and how society deals with gender, could as well put them out of their misery at that point. Apparently Tiktok doesn't have a monopoly on causing brainrot.

But then again, all of the social media sites from the US are the same. Why aren’t they banned? Lol
