From a technology perspective Taiwan is an important ally. Their manufacturing and RnD is vastly superior to China. That is why the Trump embargo on sending parts to China hurt their companies, because China lacks the manufacturing ability to produce the latest semi-conductor equipment. Their phones stopped being cutting edge due to losing the ability to import from Taiwan.
Is that enough to justify defending Taiwan? Not sure, but they are valuable to keep away from China. It's not a slam dunk to think America wouldn't help, and probably the reason China has not invaded yet.
