Chevron was outrageous from purely a legal perspective. Chevron likely caused this Executive Order and rightfully so.

I disagree, but in any case I don't see how your opinion on Chevron is relevant to the matter at hand.

How could it, considering that Chevron hasn't been the law of the land since June 2024?

The reason Chevron likely compelled the Executive Order, at least in part, is because the Trump administration likely views the ability for agencies to self-resolve ambiguities in their own rules as bad and potentially obstructive to their agenda.

For example, an agency might self-resolve an ambiguous rule to say they can’t be fired or similar, which would directly conflict with what the Trump administration wants to do.

While it was overturned, perhaps there are fears of other loopholes that they see that can accomplish this beyond simple case law.
