I'm not from the US but intuitive haven't most laws not been challenged and heard by the Supreme Court?

I think there are only a few such laws. Supreme Court also routinely denies to hear the case if it wasn't challenged enough elsewhere.
I mean most laws in the general rather than specific context. To be more obvious, I'm pointing out that just because the Supreme Court hasn't offered an opinion that that doesn't delegitimize the law. As otherwise there'd be thousands? of laws in a similar boat.

For further comparison revenge porn laws also have a similar potential for a first amendment defense but thus far have weathered challenges.
