That was a practical necessity due to Justices physically riding circuit & the absence of permanent circuit-level appellate judges. It is not a coincidence that the Court's size has remained constant since those things changed in 1869.

I think we actually should expand the Court to 13 gradually over twenty years (https://thefederalist.com/2018/07/13/definitely-time-pack-supreme-court-entirely-practical-reasons/ …) and bring back circuit riding in the process (https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/26/how-to-reduce-the-supreme-courts-power-without-judicial-term-limits/ …).
