This is a problem with the US legal system. Every decision is a precedent, no matter how specific it is.

Well, Roe v Wade set a precedent, which was then reverted ~50 years later, so I'm not sure how much precedents apply to the supreme court (it definitely applies to lower courts tho)

This is how common law everywhere that England colonized works. It’s not endemic to the US.
