Which is, in fact, the point of the Roberts' led dissent as well. Basically that this would be better off as a Congressional effort and that, by overturning Quill--even though there were good reasons to do so--the majority has thrown a wrench into ongoing efforts to work towards a national solution.
So with this decision we might (should) see Congress solving this issue. The Supreme Court had practically begged Congress to act before overturning Quill.

>In its 1992 ruling in Quill v. North Dakota, the High Court said states could require retailers to collect sales tax only if those businesses had a substantial physical presence — known in legalese as nexus — in their jurisdictions. But the Court, which called the legal issues surrounding nexus a “quagmire,” strongly urged Congress to resolve the many unanswered questions surrounding remote sales: “The underlying issue is not only one that Congress may be better qualified to resolve, but also one that Congress has the ultimate power to resolve.”
