And if you look at the case they referenced when they decided it wasn't retaliatory, I can see their decision making process even though I hate to see the result.

Before Trump was even elected, he was railing against federal unions (just like he did during his first term). There is little doubt he would have issued the executive order whether the unions had already filed suits against him for other orders or not, which met the test referenced in the decision. He hates unions, federal or otherwise, so of course he was going to do all he could to break them once he returned to office.
