You're dealing with what is likely restricted intelligence here. The reason people haven't been backing up claims with proof of interference is because that proof isn't declassified. It isn't hard to understand that. Nobody was particularly up in arms about the potential TP Link ban, and that can be fixed with updated firmware.
Additionally, two things can be true at once. It can be rue that the government took Meta lobby money in exchange for this ban, and true that Tik Tok is a danger to national security. It would not be the first time the government had their cake and ate it too.
