While this definitely is valid, TikTok has other strong leaders including Vanessa Pappas the GM for TikTok US who will be taking over. This seems like a rationale decision on Kevin's part, with a strong leader in succession who is more than capable of seeing through what comes next if TikTok US splits off from the global entity.
If there wasn't a strong leader already to take his place then it would be a very negative decision on Kevin's part.
