This seems like an argument no Chinese software on American devices, what makes the difference?

No, it's the opposite argument, that we SHOULDN'T do that because one it's impractical, and two if they actually did it, the solution (mass government wiretapping and auditing and pre-censorship of all "foreign" apps) would be worse than the problem it's trying to solve (TikTok not playing nice).

I'm no fan of the CCP, but I'd take Chinese propaganda over American censorship any day.
