It's a massive ruling - but it's still true that all they did was keep federal district courts from issuing nationwide injunctions rather than more targeted injunctions that hold the status quo for the case in front of them.

Those injunctions are temporary while the trial goes on. They eventually result in actual rulings that could say that the president lacks the power to do a certain thing under the Constitution, and appellate courts (and SCOTUS) could still block unconstitutional actions.

Taking the instant case - the judge can't block the administration's immigration policy (except for the people in the case in front of him)... but SCOTUS explicitly did NOT say that Trump's policy was unconstitutional. They just said that such a ruling has to come at the end of a much longer process. We can't just ask a district judge to block something while we argue in court.
