I mean it only applies to parts of the executive which the president is the head of. Its technically like a memo from corporate. Its sorta a good thing that they made it more an official thing that can be tracked as opposed to the instructions going down the chain. That being said they are supposed to be about things agencies can legally do.

For example, Biden could have directed the FBI to investigate certain kinds of crime, like say espionage or insurrection; but couldn’t legally order the FBI to raid Trump’s Diaper Drawer.

Even if the FBI did get a warrant to do exactly that.
