You have very different definitions of "the public" and I promise you that yours is a hell of a lot smaller.

People who are aware of who Justice Thomas even IS would still be a vastly smaller circle than the number of people who would be affected and have very strong opinions on a US default (although not until it happens).

Most people (and more than is the case for any other Supreme Court Justice) know who Thomas is, and most of those (by a wider absolute than any other justice, though by a smaller relative margine than Kavanaugh or Barrett) who do have negative impression of him.
