Legislation can limit what Federal agents are allowed to do totally irrespectively of whether those things would separately violate the constitution.

Sure, but we're not really talking about federal agents for the most part. We're talking about local police forces in states sending subpoenas to Ring.

Federal law's ability to enjoin local police activity is limited.

And in any case: the law is a blunt instrument. It's (usually) better as a slowly changing representation of conventions and social consensus instead of something that we make sweeping changes in (whether legislatively or judicially).
