Why? I did a search of the full 14th Amendment and found no such word exists.

I predict the court will punt, it will continue as-is but they won’t actually decide the case one way or another.

Relevant portion of the 14th amendment:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”

The answer to that question is literally what the article is about. Essentially, the Solicitor General argued that the word "domicile" is implied in "reside in". If you're saying that's bogus because that word isn't in the 14th Amendment, than that isn't good for Trump.

yes indeed.
if anyone wants to introduce and decide the case based on a magic word that isn’t even in the constitution.... when the real wording and history thereof are very clear and well-known....
let them introduce a real magic word instead of a dul, ill-defined, and irrelevant one like “domicile”

how about, say, Kltpzyxm! Straight from the 5th dimension

then they can decide the case any da**ed way they want, totally ignoring the US Constitution and all of the very careful political history and discussions of our Founding Fathers

perhaps “birthright citizenship can be combined with “absentee voting” to enable foreigners to give USA citizenship to new babies without their mamas having to even make the journey over the “border”

like, set up a World Wide Web webpage and let anyone, any citizens of any countries on earth, bestow instant American citizenship on their babies right there at home in Krapistan or Uganda or Communist China. No fuss, no bother, just type in the little kid’s name and click the Enter button. Oh yeah, add the entire family’s names too since they can piggyback on the baby’s instant American citizenship.

why the H3LL not, if the court is inclined to trash the US Constitution with fake standards based on “foreign” and totally unnecessary vocabulary
