Chevron was not about deciding regulation details.

It was about who interprets what a law an agency administers means.

Before Chevron, an agency could say "we interpret this law to mean we can do X", and then no one could stop it from doing X. That's a huge amount of unchecked power!

Now an impartial court get to interpret what laws mean. Seems like the obviously right thing to me.
