After all its not hard to make a corporation in the US

...A US corporation is subject to US laws.

ByteDance is subject to Chinese laws.

If TikTok wants to do everything that it's currently doing, but under US law and under US scrutiny, they're more than welcome to do so. But they're currently evading any serious scrutiny. Hence the reason to shut them down if they refuse gov't oversight.
