Why must the US Supreme Court sometimes wait for years before it can rule in an area?

The Supreme Court can't rule on an issue until it has been legitimately legally challenged in a court of original jurisdiction and all lower court appeals have been exhausted (with a few exceptions).
A legitimate legal challenge requires a plaintiff who has been damaged by application of a law or policy, or a proxy who has standing to bring suit on behalf of one or more people who have been damaged.
