TickTick will not allow their users to remove its icon from the menubar in macOS. How can this be done?

Run this command in Terminal:

strings -ao /Applications/TickTick.app/Contents/Resources/Assets.car | grep [email protected] | awk "{print \$1}" | xargs echo 232+ | bc | \
xargs -I{} echo "printf '\x01' | dd of=/Applications/TickTick.app/Contents/Resources/Assets.car bs=1 conv=notrunc seek={}" | sh

It will narrow the menubar icon down so much that it will become invisible. Ctrl+'mouse drag' the icon to the left most place.

Explanation: strings finds the position of the icon in the asset container, echo and bc move a few bytes forward to get to the position that is responsible for the width of the icon. printf and dd set that byte to 1 for minimum width.
