Surely the value of the TikTok user base is >$0 even without the algorithm. Why not sell that part of it?

Whose buying? For how much. But maybe for the same reason Meta alleges it doesn't sell user data, because there's 7 billion other potential users who wouldn't look fondly at it. Counter productive as long as there's other routes for growth.
