First of all the US is not TikTok's largest market, it's Indonesia. Second of all, it is absolutely a rational decision: it's a good old shakedown, the US is effectively trying to steal the only major social network it doesn't own.
This is such a bad take.

Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and China told say Tesla, which business is huge in China: "either you 'divest from US imperialism' and sell the company to us or we ban you". According to you the "rational" thing to do for Tesla would be to submit and sell itself to the Chinese? Do you realize how half-witted you sound?
Those lacking rationality in this whole story are the US government and people like you who believe this is all normal behavior. It's not, it's thuggish and will absolutely backfire.
