Or maybe they're so overburdened with their caseload that 70 is all they can handle.  I recommend adding some justices right away to ease the burden.

Now break it down based on how many words in its decisions the Court produces per year.

Word length in majority opinions jumped up sharply in the early/mid 70s from about 2500 words to over 4000.  Roughly concurrent with this was an assumption of more substantive duties by Supreme Court clerks.
Also - at the same time, the number of unanimous opinions has trended up steadily since 1946, so presumably fewer concurring and dissenting opinions are being written.

I watch it. Only takes a fifth as much effort as watching the Daily Show to stay informed.
