Apple is obliged to follow the laws in the jurisdictions where it operates.

If you live in the United States
If you already have these apps installed on your device, they will remain on your device. But they can't be redownloaded if deleted or restored if you move to a new device. In-App-Käufe und neue Abonnements sind nicht mehr möglich.
Users in the United States won't receive updates for these apps, which could potentially impact performance, security, and compatibility with future versions of iOS and iPadOS, and some app functions might become limited or stop working since the app can't receive updates.
If you're visiting the United States
ByteDance's apps remain available for download in all other countries and regions where they are available.
Users visiting from outside the United States with their Apple Account set to a country or region that is not the United States are unable to download, update or make in-app purchases and new subscriptions inside ByteDance Ltd. apps while within the land or maritime borders of the United States.
After leaving the United States, you'll have access to all functionality.
Get help with ByteDance Ltd. apps in the United States
If you already have a subscription to TikTok, CapCut, or another ByteDance Ltd. app, you can still cancel your subscription.
For any other questions about TikTok or other ByteDance Ltd. apps, contact the developer on the web.

Re: “I ask because I wanna know about the error, bug or thing that doesn’t allow to have TikTok”
The “thing” is not an “error” or a “bug,” but rather, United States law.
