on what basis did the Supreme Court rule that the executive priviledge did NOT bar production of the Trump emails

The Orange Man Bad provision of the Constitution, obviously.

Executive privilege is an office privilege not individual. Since the founding of the country the new President never produces the prior President's records because it dilutes the power of executive privilege and their records can then be produced when they leave office. However, OMB so Biden said screw that here you go. It's actually a good decision by the Supreme Court (and I would say by extension the country as it may rein in executive power) but bad precedent for future presidents.

I think on the grounds that he's no longer President, which opens up a delightful can of worms re: Hussein's and Clinton's docs.

Executive Privilege is as to the OFFICE, not the individual.
It is up to each subsequent president (as the head of the Executive Branch) to decide whether the papers of his predecessor(s) should be protected.
Until Biden, they routinely were.
But, it is his decision to make.
