Why don't they just actually send the video file?

Those apps purposely don't make it trivial to download the files do they? You probably could but someone who swipes Tiktok all day can not.

Lots of tiktoks can be downloaded easily, but still, they can be large, why send those around when you can just send a link

For better user experience for the person receiving it.

Downloading takes time and disk space. Sending a link is easier.
