Packing a court allows you to override every other justice already there, does not require vacancies, is not time limited and can be done immediately after winning the previous election.
Not stalling. Cancelling. The results are the same. And if the "need" arose, you can be sure the GOP would go the court-packing route. Democratic norms are dead. It's senseless for one party to put itself at a permanent disadvantage by pretending otherwise.

Incidentally, "court packing" is explicitly allowed by the Constitution. Not having a vote is much more constitutionally dubious.
