And it was an unanimous decision. When was the last time we had those for such an impactful decision I wonder?

The majority of Supreme Court decisions are unanimous, including on major issues. The recent trend of divided opinions is relatively new.
Just look at the decision lists on Oyez or Scotusblog? Big decisions are more likely to be split than small ones but SCOTUS hears many many cases that get almost no media attention, most of which are decided unanimously.
Approximately 50% of rulings are unanimous each year now. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/supreme-court-unan...
In the past, it was even more so.
"Impactful" might be counting your chickens a little too early. Let's see if it has any impact. The next POTUS might just ignore it, or some other shenanigans might be used to work around whatever the imagined impact was.
