Does 'Traditionis Custodes' have any effect on Novus Ordo mass?

I was reading [Fr. Raymond de Souza's article on the Pickle that Cardinal Gregory is in](https://www.ncregister.com/commentaries/pope-francis-motu-proprio-places-new-burden-on-bishops-particularly-on-cardinal-gregory) and it reminded me of something I thought of when reading [Traditionis Custodes](https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/motu_proprio/documents/20210716-motu-proprio-traditionis-custodes.html) , it would seem as if the final point:
> Previous norms, instructions, permissions, and customs that do not conform to the provisions of the present Motu Proprio are abrogated.
Suggests that all the accretions in the _Novus Ordo_ mass, (i.e. the Kumbayah stuff that TLM goers often object to) is abrogated as well. In fact, it seems if:
> The liturgical books promulgated by Saint Paul VI and Saint John Paul II, in conformity with the decrees of Vatican Council II, are the unique expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite.
is what Pope Francis wants us to go with, then all congregations who fail to observe the rite properly are just as out of sync with the Motu Proprio as any TLM community.
Or is this not how _Motu Proprios_ work?
