China is half a world away and isn't directly involved in my day to day. The harms that China can do to me are significantly less than those American businesses.

It's not about trust, it's about accurate threat modeling.

This is the correct take. Anyone who paid the least amount of attention to Snowden's revelations know that the USA harvests absolutely everything online. Americans have more to fear from their info being misused by their own government and the corporations that own it than by the Chinese. The push to ban TikTok is just an attempt to cut out the spying competition. And jingoistic Sinophobia.
