The constitution does not refer to a "state-regulated" militia. It refers to a "well regulated" militia:

IMO, the reason the SCOTUS worded it that particular way is so that when they rule in favor of the individual's RKBA, they also strike down the presumptions in legality of state regulation or state controlled infringements upon the basics of that right.

FWIW, I hope your perspective is wrong and we can all say, "Told you so..."
