The Court’s role is to interpret the law, not mete out (perceived) justice based on feelings. It’s not their fault that the law is the way it is, nor is it their duty to ignore what the law says to punish people, even if those people might deserve it.
The FTC statement makes a good point that Congress needs to pass a new law if they want to make something illegal, basically agreeing with the court without admitting it. The FTC can't just assume powers of their own accord. (though they certainly tried)
