If the offenses of justices are so able to be hidden away, in other words that they are so inoffensive, then there's not really any need to impeach them in the first place.
So this is why we have this system in place, to maintain judicial independence while giving Congress the ability to impeach IF a justice does misbehave in a way that becomes substantial.
So what you're describing is a feature, not a bug, giving justices independence from undue interference in their branch from others seeking power.
Otherwise there'd be nothing to stop powerful congresspeople from hounding the nine into submission.
