Why ban TikTok by name and not by legislating away the specific bad things it does? I don't see anything in this legislation that would affect Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts, both of which are using their own engagement-focused algorithm for recommending content. If being addicting is the reason we don't like TikTok, then why are we OK with it when a domestic company does it?

Because Facebook lobbyists don't want that, they just want to eliminate the competition.

We don't need to regulate TikTok, we need to regulate Social Media as a whole.
