At least from the example you gave, it is a question more than a statement. They're not correcting you so much as questioning your answer and offering what they think it really is. Basically, skipping the filler in asking "Are you sure its purple, not blue?"
Why did it become a normal thing for people to end statements with a question mark when they correct someone? Is it a TikTok trend that blew up?

I think its always been around. It might be more common to see it without further qualification (IE, "It's blue, isn't it?"), possibly because of the popularity of short-form content, but I don't think its a new thing.
