Technically, they merely elevated Kavanaugh's non-precedential concurrence into a precedent after the Biden administration had basically said they were gonna be disregarding it 'til a majority of the Court elevated it as such, which is - generally speaking, anyway - how the nature of concurring opinions is supposed to work. Still, obviously not a surprise.
