Many of those Republican picks, their positions on Roe really was unknown. O'Connor and Souter especially. And the only reason Kennedy is on the court is because the Democrats forced him on, otherwise Bork would have that seat. That really played a big role in Souter being on the court as well. Democrats were in a much stronger position in the Senate in years past and so had more influence on republican picks.
I don't think its as conspiratorial as you suggest. But I do believe that the strategy will not be to overturn Roe all at once. They'll chip away at it a little bit at a time over several decades until it essentially doesn't exist anyhow.
