They're just trying to avoid second and third order effects.
The states removing Trump from the ballot advanced the theory that he need not be convicted of a crime, if they felt that the evidence met the criteria of the crime they could remove him on that basis alone.
That means other states could, for example, remove Joe Biden from the ballot for taking money from the Chinese simply by asserting that they felt there is enough evidence that it happened. Repeat ad infinitum for both sides for every candidate they don't like, forever.
It wasn't that they cared about Trump, so much as they probably recognized that the ramifications of the opposite decision would be a complete breakdown in the American election system when state authorities begin to simply disqualify anyone they want from their ballot using simple accusations because they don't like their politics.
All of them are puppets devoid of thought, it was the party bosses passing that one down. The DNC could be outlawed in thirty states bad they ruled otherwise.

My expectations are so low that I wasn't sure if the liberal half of SCOTUS would consider second and third order effects.

Not "the right". Conservatives, aka the biggest bootlickers in politics
