You are most correct. Standing has been used as an excuse to weasel out of hearing controversial cases on their merits. Attached to this case is some excellent research and documentation. But unless I missed it somewhere, I cannot find a cause of action. The plaintiff from what I can tell has not claimed to be damaged in any way by the actions of the defendants for which relief can be sought from the court. If they could find other plaintiffs that did suffer damages directly from the defendants and add them to the lawsuit as a class action, then that would give the case standing. But as it looks now, I do not see any reason why a court would not dismiss outright.
