Why? We generally punish attempts to stop people from trying to cause harms over and over until they succeed. But for most crimes, the success is punishable too. That is not true here due to the nature of the harm. A President who successfully retains power unlawfully will never receive punishment.

The most disturbing part of the Court's opinion is not the abstract rules or categories it sets out, a version of which might even make sense (if their scope were clarified and the presumption weakened). It is the application of those rules and categories to the facts of this case.
