Sounds about right,
From my understanding, they singled out TikTok instead of addressing the actual problem they claim to care about.
[Edit, another comment says its any app with 1million users. So now there’s just going to be a hundred TikTok clones all under the same umbrella just different names.]
If they addressed the general problem it would also affect US social media platforms and they want to continue doing that when American companies do it.

To be fair, the law is broad enough that it could target these other services as well pretty easily.
The law is broad enough they could target Discord.
Due to the network effect, having a hundred apps instead of one is a big negative.

your edit sounds like the fediverse model
I suppose. I was thinking more of 1 Chinese company just spinning up a hundred copy/paste apps.
