To be clear, the USA has not restricted foreign nationals for being in Taiwan. Taiwanese nationals who have been in Taiwan (or any other country not on the USA's restricted list) for the last 14 days are free to enter the USA. So it is correct that there is no reciprocity, but this is due to Taiwan banning foreign nationals, not anything the USA has done.
Also, note that the Canada-USA border is closed only for "non-essential travel". "Essential" travel is still permitted, with the definition being loose enough to include work travel.
