That is the purpose of the Supreme Court. However the Supreme Court listens to less than 2% of cases that come to it. But close to 100% of its decisions set precedent that is binding on lower courts.

The result is that precedent is the most effective tool that the Court has to serve its purpose. And therefore that is the most important thing that they do. And they are extremely highly aware of it.

And all 100% of its decisions decide cases. So more of its decisions decide cases than set precedents. So your argument is a non sequitur.
