From the ruling:

"The Act permits the President to grant a one-time extension of no more than 90 days with respect to the prohibitions’ 270-day effective date if the President makes certain certifications to Congress regarding progress toward a qualified divestiture."

Sounds like he needs to work with Congress on at least a basic level for this to be within the law, not just make his own decision and declare all is good. And there is the small detail that he is not President, at least not today.

TikTok has already received multiple "interest to acquire" letters, including the one from Perplexity that would keep all existing investors fully intact.

Having that along with a republican majority in both the congress and the senate this isn't going to be difficult for Trump to fulfill the requirements of the law.

That is not enough to satisfy all 3 certification requirements as required by this law.

Do you get the impression that the incoming administration cares about the law?

As long as there is a fig leaf/smokescreen, and TikTok makes the right noises and contributions, they’ll be fine.

If anything, Keeping them technically in violation of the law is the leverage the administration will want to keep so they can squeeze TikTok whenever they want.
