You wouldn’t do that at scale unless you were basically going to war anyway.

Scenario 1: deploy malware on highly targeted devices

Scenario 2: deploy ddos logic or similar to all devices within a region

Interpret this as ‘what could happen in theory’ as opposed to any TikTok specific accusation. I’m not even sure it is possible to dynamically execute code under Android or iOS.

You can dynamically execute code on Android. Not on iOS, as far as I am aware. It's a pretty common design pattern for games, for example.
