Reading the tea leaves further (because I despise John Roberts), this is a court that has overturned
Roe vs Wade, tossed out affirmative action, and smacked down Colorado for excluding Trump from the ballot. They're currently dealing with multiple gun lawsuits, fundamental abortion/birth control questions (fallout of their own decision), multiple federal overreach cases, plus a big Trump case around core issues of Presidential powers
I think the current Court is looking to only deal with huge transformative issues right now. There's nothing on there that deals with smaller legal errors like this, or any circuit splits that I can tell. Maybe they're in a mood.
Roberts is famously deferential to legislatures and
fait accompli situations--he yelled at the court until they refused to deal with the 2020 election--but the Court has been more willing to tackle big issues since 2021. Maybe they're in "fix everything before court packing gets pushed through mode". Or maybe the more recent diversity hire justices hamper their ability to deal with finely detailed legal problems, and they're forced to stick to big issue activism.
