This could either be:
1. a fascinating Supreme Court opinion.
2. a frustrating ruling because SCOTUS doesn't understand software and code.
3. the type of anti-anticlimactically(?) narrow ruling typical of the Roberts court.

The courts don't really have breathing room to use a different test. I don't recall any cases in which the courts have set binding guidelines for interpretation of these factors.
