To be clear, they're not banning the app, they're banning ByteDance from having offices in Canada

Can .ca App Store still offer the app legally if no biz entity operating in Canada? If no, then it's the same as ban the app

Most app developers don't have legal entities in all the countries their app is distributed. Apple is the merchant of record for apps sold and distributed through its app store.
