In effect, it did not. All it said is that the powers enumerated to those executive agencies must be more explicitly laid out by congress. But, that’s just not something that’s going to happen.

So, the gap has been filled largely by executive orders.

No, that is not what it said. It said that the power to interpret Congressional statues from first principles rested with the judiciary and not with the executive.

It eliminated the idea of a “gap” that executive agencies (whatever do you mean by “executive orders” in this context?) could be deferred to to fill.

My goodness, this is basic stuff in this Constitutional domain.
