“There are 6 conservatives. Why was it 5-4?”

Prolly because there aren’t 6 “real” conservatives on the court.

Because the decision was 6-3. Roberts went with the majority vote, but he wrote his own opinion, rather than signing on to Alito's opinion.

The following is a direct quote from the decision itself:

Alito, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, JJ., joined. Thomas, J., and Kavanaugh, J., filed concurring opinions. Roberts, C. J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgement. Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, JJ., filed a dissenting opinion.

That's 6-3, not 5-4. I would, however, dispute your assertion that there are 6 conservatives on the Court. Specifically, I'd dispute that assertion for Roberts, given his record.

It wasn’t. It was 5-1-3.
