Huawei has been caught stealing more than enough trade secrets to justify a ban. I'd be happy if they banned a lot more Chinese firms for that, or just in response to China's own bans. But TikTok seems to be uniquely about censorship.

Gallagher (the bill sponsor) and several other lawmakers made it sound like censorship, and the timing also matches.
