After taking time to think about this a bit further, I have a better understanding of the "narrow" scope of the decision, and I see it's importance.  The baker was treated unfairly with hostility by his State court, and SCOTUS is telling States that they must consider both sides on a case.  

It could be given the right case. We make the same judgement call with racial and sex based discrimination. The line has to be drawn and states can draw it.

But, like you said, this was not the case to draw that line given the unfair treatment by Colorado preventing them from even getting to the issue of could the state limit him.
