Yeah, it's more about the process of filling the seat. Much like POTUS, a justice is not going to really do much after retirement other than charity work, giving talks on things, and occasionally commenting on issues when they feel so inclined. There is a bit more gravitas to those roles than a legislator and they tend to be the last job for them.
