Political comment aside, I think everyone's talking about it because it seems like the only source of change in the current day comes from courts making decisions and changing to how existing laws are interpreted. Congress hasn't made any real meaningful new regulations to curtail anti-consumer behavior since the 08 crisis. People were hoping things would change from this lawsuit, but SCOTUS didn't want to hear it and set precedent for whatever reason. Nonetheless, people continuing to talk about it will certainly keep it in the public consciousness and might lead to eventual congressional action ( /s ).
