It's not even years of precedent, they contradicted themselves on this decision today in their separate ruling on allowing public sleeping bans. Roberts said "Why would you think that these nine people are the best people to judge and weigh those policy judgements?". SCOTUS follows tradition when it suits their lobbied interests, and disregards tradition if it contradicts them.

A really really good question. And completely compatible with this ruling.

This reads more like interpretation is at fault rather than the actual ruling. The SC ruled in favor of the state(s), as in the fining for that reason is not unconstitutional or an overreach.
