    The outcome of cases like this in other circumstances must await further elaboration in the courts,

Meaning the ruling applies specifically to this case and its circumstances leaving open that the same type of case would be ruled in the opposite way given different circumstances such as a more recent filing of the suit.

    the long-awaited decision did not resolve whether other opponents of same-sex marriage, including bakers, florists, photographers and videographers, can refuse commercial wedding services to gay couples

I mean, you're not totally wrong but you'd have to be pretty personally invested in the life of this cake decorator to consider this a victory
