Completely expected. Trump doesn’t really have a good track record in coming up with legal executive orders, while Tiktok is completely in their rights to contest this order. And...judicial review is what sets the USA apart from China.
Whether you think it's right or wrong, legally, it has prescient.

You realize US presidents have imposed embargo via executive orders against nations for decades right? Cuba? Huawei? Whether you think it's right or wrong, legally, it has prescient.
Is this an attempt by ByteDance to retain control of the company?
I'd start the questioning like this... "On an average day how many kids under 13 do you think join TikTok without their parents knowledge?" "On an average day, how many teens under 18 and preteens dance in a manner that would be considered provocative on your platform?"
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Might be a good political argument but not a legal one.
The legal argument is much more clear though. The US can impose embargo via executive order. Keep in mind Australia dropped Huawei over security concerns for their national broadband network back in 2012. China is a totalitarian regime that suppresses speech and is reeducating an entire ethnic group, possibly even forcing them into factory jobs.
So the legal argument from ByteDance actually has merit in that respect, regardless of the political debate.

In this case, the order bans any US citizen from doing business with ByteDance, and doesn't make a carve out for retaining a US lawyer, which is a violation of due process and means a judge could overturn the order.
If they just added that carve out, it would probably be entirely legally defensible. That one dumb mis-step could mean it gets overturned. This keeps happening with the Trump admin, it's the same reason the DACA repeal was overturned by the supreme court.
This is the important part for me and the reason the order could actually be overturned and need to be redone.
The administration keeps doing these half-assed orders that would go through fine if they just did the process correctly, but for one reason or another they seem incapable of it.
We are really entering developing country territory here.
