IMO, this is just how common law systems are doomed to operate. Judicial interpretations become case law and the only way to change it is either to amend the constitution or appoint idelogues to the judiciary who are willing to toss stare decisis straight out the window.

Leaving the shitshow of Texas aside, amendments to state constitutions are often among the only ways to put a public referendum on the ballot and are often used to pass something that could just as well had been legislation were it not for the terminally corrupt state legislatures.
