Under Obama they had a supermajority of 58 plus 2 Independents for 72 days and it was still the most productive congress over a decade before and after it, and the SCOTUS had until much later on upheld the Roe v Wade decision so it was probably low on the priority list.
I mean, it’s not like anybody expected Obama’s last scotus nomination to be denied by congress and the next presidency to replace enough judges to completely flip the majority around.
