Agreed, they well could have suspended interest and payments for a given time period to be revisited. It would have been difficult to combat such a relief with a given lifetime. That time could even have been as broad as say 5 years in order to get a more permanent solution in place. Likely still would have seen pushback, but at least a better legal footing. It isn't the SCOTUS role to give people what they want, it's to determine legality under the framework of the constitution.
