You misunderstand the federal appointment process.

No president is allowed to unilaterally appoint whomever they want. Instead, they are required to engage with the democratic process to ask permission to make the appointment.

This process is there specifically to make sure the democratic process has a check over unilateral executive power for matters as important as choosing justices.

Yes, a president will be frustrated that he doesn't have such power in his hands, but we prefer democracy over that kind of authority in the federal government.
