If I'm reading this correctly (I'm not familiar with US jurisprudence etc.), the decision allows the state to expropriate private entities for the benefit of other private entities. How is it that the liberal judges were not able to foresee this decision's consequences?

No, the ruling allows the state to expropriate from one private entity to another IF there is a compelling public benefit. The benefit to other private entities (if any) is purely coincidental and not relevant to the legality.
