Because it is a ruling that is less than a complete acceptance of the case. Even though a Writ of Certiorari would not provide much information, it is the standard for accepting a case onto the docket. What SCOTUS has done is something in between saying yes and saying no. It actually makes sense for a group of justices who are equivocating, not sure which way the wind is blowing.
Agreed. What you say is the most likely scenario, and that they are simply allowing statements to be recorded for posterity. However, it does leave open the possibility that they can later claim the information presented was so compelling that they are changing their mind and now ready to take up the case.
In this case though, because the right decision is already so obvious, I doubt that anything will change their minds. But from an optics standpoint they could reverse their decision at a later date if the circumstances dictate it. So it does leave open a possible path that team Human Patriot might force upon the lizards later once team Reptilian Pedophile is defeated. This might be more preferable to the population than an outright military coup.

A denial of cert is pretty much just “saying no.”
