Why has the supreme court agreed to hear so many cases?

Most of the cases the Supreme Court hears are appeals from lower courts ... However, it may act only within the context of a case in an area of law over which it has jurisdiction. The Court may decide cases having political overtones, but does not have power to decide nonjusticiable political questions.

For a year, the Supreme Court heard less cases out of the worry that the court was split 4-4 after the death of Antonin Scalia.

Once Justice Gorsuch was put on the Court, the Supreme Court knew they had a full complement of judges and could hear cases without deadlock.

That being said, the Supreme Court hears VERY few cases.
