This whole thing where “well this is wrong but you have to pay the illegal tax anyway” makes no sense.

Definitely odd to see that the default is to let this keep happening, counterintuitive is a word that comes to mind

It was the obvious consequence of SCOTUS getting rid of the nationwide TRO, but here we are anyway.

What does it look like when everyone sues to claw back the unlawful tariffs paid? YC startup opportunity (take a cut of whatever you claw back for customers).

This would be hard to do given sovereign immunity. I highly doubt you'd get them to waive their immunity for an "official act" done by the President. The FTCA does allow for some exceptions but it's pretty narrow.
This actually happens quite a bit, so there are well-established procedures for this. It's just never happened on this scale before.
