Meanwhile you're drinking from plastic water bottles, plastic wrapped food, plastic soda cups from fast food, using silicone tipped utensil,plastic straws, plastic leftover containers and toothpaste with microplastics in them, plastic toothbrush. Technivorm has plastic interacting with hot coffee? Yep. But yeah the silicone tea diffuser is a problem. Right.
Why would you put this plastic garbage inside your tea drink

Somehow, coincidentally, I have this, think it was a half joke half serious gift a while back. Anyway, used it for first time couple days ago, and while I'm not a tea expert, it worked surprisingly well, didn't taste silicone-y/weird, brewed just fine.

Take that as you will.
How is it to clean? How easy or hard is it to get the tea leaves out after use?
If you're buying this as a gag gift/novelty, more power to you.
That being said, this is an objectively bad infuser. Hot water naturally has flow within it as heat rises, with an infuser the goal is to allow as much water to flow into and out of it as possible without the tea leaking out. Therefore, a good infuser will have an absolute ton of holes both below and above the tea. This doesn't.
The Silicone will actually handle the acidity and temperatures fine; it is also considered safe for foodware. It may discolor a little however which you may not be able to clean off.
My generic inexpensive infuser recommendation is the OXO Brew Basket (Stainless Steel) or OXO Ball Infuser (Stainless Steel), depending on what you're doing. It is all about the holes, and for both the entire surface is holes to maximize ingress/egress.

To play devils advocate;
Now lets look at the cancer levels back then before all that stuff compared to now.
I should mention I dont have a dog in the "fight". I think it would be probably better to use glass or some sorta safe metal over silicone, but at the same time I dont think silicone is a huge risk, I still use it regularly- its just more of a risk than common safe metals or glass.

It's silicone. It's used to hold the tea leaves.
As it should. I also possess this magic - I can turn water yellow.

A manatee that befowls your water. Sure to be a classic.

Asking for a friend.
It's weird AF as far as products go. But it's not adding to a problem.
