I agree most people don't care. Whether that's because they don't know or wouldn't care anyway I am not sure. That's sort of irrelevant though, if you don't mind me saying: the entire purpose of scotus is to take cases that the mainstream don't care about but which have significant implications either for individuals, small groups or society as a whole. That's why it was the supreme court that created gay and interracial marriage. Neither minority could get fair treatment via the ballot box. If the majority cared, in theory at least, they need only vote to get what they want. The Senate, the House and POTUS all serve them (to greater or lesser or degrees). SCOTUS is for the little guy. That's why it's members are NOT elected or otherwise subject to public opinion.
