You obviously don't use Twitter if you think well-argued/constructive challenges to worldviews are the sorts of things people need the blocking feature for.

For some twitter users use the blocking feature to live in a echo chamber. For some it is to block spam. For some it is to block rude people.

The con of no blocking feature is not able to block spam.
