That’s pretty much all this ruling liberates him to do. There’s no additional executive power.

State sanctioned murder of political dissidents doesn't seem like a significant additional executive power to you? I'm not convinced that's enabled by this particular ruling but that's how you're framing it and the fact that doesn't seem concerning to you is pretty wild.

Of course it’s concerning. It’s batshit insane.

All of the posts and comments I keep reading are making it seem like he was granted full executive control of the government. I’m legitimately almost as concerned with the literacy of people as I am the new criminal immunity of POTUS.

That's fair. That didn't seem like what you were getting at but I understand that point.
