What would the implication of this nitpick be, in your opinion?

Wasn't a consequence of this conclusion that the court ordered Israel to change its behaviour because it has an obligation to prevent genocide?

It's not nitpicking - what the court is entirely different from what you stated (though it's understandable as a lot of sources misrepresent it).

The court can issue orders without finding any sort of violation, which is what happened in this case when they ordered Israel to "prevent genocide". It can be interpreted as a reminder to Israel of its obligations.
