Neither Apple or Google have any incentive to fight this. Tiktok already has already started suing.

Apple may have incentive because iphone sales might go down because consumer will flock to android since you can't sideload wechat on ios.

Why would Apple or Google do anything except comply? Apple already complies with Chinese iPhones in China. Google tried to build a Chinese Google.

Because they want their platform to be featureful and used.

There isnt a viable alternative platform, so assuming their legal teams consider this order lawful, why waste money fighting it?

They never fought for Huawei in court. They wont fight for Tiktok
