I think people going "Well it's not like they couldn't create an alt or just log out to see your tweets again if you blocked them" don't really understand the point and function of block features.
It's to raise the barrier just enough the other person just gives up and moves on, since continuing to be able to interact now requires work (creating a new account, etc.).
If a platform is doing its job (Twitter is not), creating new accounts to continue should net them a ban.

Many platforms get mod features wrong and learn the hard way.
Twitter did, but Musk knows and doesn't care. He just wants his unfettered fiefdom.
Discord got it wrong too. AFAIK blocking "shades" messages from the blocked people, but you can still ask to see it.
It's frog comic with the box of cookies. "But we can open the box again."
Every time I've seen someone announce they blocked another, they inevitably reveal that other person's reply(ies) and continue responding. 😕
