You’re still not understanding what is being talked about.

Here is the situation being talked about:

You open TikTok on your phone
There is a link to a site within the app
You open the site, it opens inside the TikTok app
You put information into the site
TikTok now has that information

At no point is anyone claiming it’s unavoidable, or spread on countless websites. It’s the app that’s the issue, it’s the app that doing the keylogging.
