That's not a bug, that's a feature.
The school of thought that Gorsuch and others subscribe to is one where the US was basically supposed to be an extension of 18th-century England, just without the Crown. This was more-or-less how the antebellum south was set up. You had peasants living in housing provided by the landed gentry in exchange for the outputs of their labor at enterprises that are held by the landed gentry. The landed gentry is the landed gentry because a higher power anointed them to be so, or because social Darwinism simply selected them as such. Those who oppose this are thus opposed to nature and cannot be entertained, much less allowed to wield the power of the state to protect what they see to be their rights.
Now replace "peasant" with "working class" and "landed gentry" with "investors". Ta-da. You have the ideal system in these people's minds for the modern world.
