But the court isn't going into a server room somewhere and pressing a button to take TikTok off the app store. Apple would take it down because they would incur some sort of retaliation if they didn't. But that retaliation would never come because Trump controls the enforcers, and he has directed them to ignore noncompliance with the law. So how would the court compel this behavior from Apple?

Federally, only today. And federally, the judiciary has its own enforcement powers. (To say nothing of private liability caused by wilful lawbreaking, even if encouraged by the President.)
It’s why Apple and Google, informed by the most-expensive lawyers in the world, have for now de-listed TikTok.
