The thing about that ruling is that it doesn't grant presidential immunity. It was actually a power grab by SCOTUS.
As you say, the ruling states that presidents are immune for "official acts", but it also puts SCOTUS as the sole arbiter of what counts as an "official act".
Good thing the president can remove and install judges who agree with him.
