I agree with politicallefty. Optics may have been slightly better if Barrett wrote the opinion, but someone who was the most junior member of the court in the last term would never write opinions for major cases. (And Barrett, to my knowledge, hasn't written any of the opinions released thus far. I would ask one of the legal experts how long a new justice typically has to wait before being assigned an opinion when they're in the majority.)

But in a way we're overthinking this. Most Americans can't name every member of the Supreme Court. Whether it was Alito or Thomas or Gorsuch or Kavanaugh writing the opinion, the result would have been the same and the reaction would have been the same.
