“And it never claims fraud or that any votes were cast by illegal voters.”
I am not bothered that the Court ruled against the suit. What worries me is that no fraud claims were presented. That is what this whole issue is about.
Can someone give me a clue?

No one with police or subpoena powers is genuinely investigated the election fraud. The USPS sent a Biden goon to “investigate” the Project Veritas whistleblower. No surprise nothing came of that. Trump’s team is isolated and grasping at straws, basically.
With certain exceptions not relevant here SCOTUS only has appellate jurisdiction over cases arising under the Constitution or federal law. As we all know by now, the Constitution specifically gives the states the right to determine their own election laws. I believe a claim of fraud in an election would therefore be a state election law matter for which SCOTUS would not have jurisdiction. Showing evidence of fraud (as opposed to a claim of fraud) to support a claim of violation of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause would give SCOTUS appellate jurisdiction, however.
Rudy has his place in this affair, but I'm hoping there are some substantial appellate attorneys backing him up. He has only argued before SCOTUS once and has not been in any kind of a courtroom in many years. That said, I'm sure the claims asserted in the complaint were carefully considered and if a claim for fraud was not included there was a good reason for not including it.
