If it truly is a national security concern and not politics, this should be the obvious conclusion. How do we know some Facebook employee isn't siphoning data to the CCP right now? How do we know the US won't someday abuse the data Facebook/Google/whoever are collecting? The data is either weaponizable or it's not, and if it is weaponizable (and I believe it is), this needs to be a much larger discussion than TikTok and WeChat.
