Therefore Executive does whatever Judicial lets it get away with.

That’s the current situation. As far as things like being in charge of appropriations, though, Congress has recently abdicated their responsibilities, even more than in the past.

Right, you were stating how things should be while I was stating what is, currently.
Fwiw I seriously doubt that the current situation will ever end, for as long as the USA continues to exist.
Even if theoretically it were to temporarily halt in a couple years, would that usher in a new era of Congressional responsibility? Which might last let’s say up to four years, prior to returning to something very much like the current situation?
History seems to me to tell a different story. Though of course I’m merely guessing and nobody will truly know until the future comes to pass.

It’s not clear if future Republican presidents will have the legislative branch in his thrall to the same extent.
