Well it's truly pretty rare that I block people, and maybe people do do that for things that they just disagree with, but I took it as the "block negative things out of your life."
Lots of crazy people on the internet, I just try to remember that sometimes I'm the one being smugly incorrect (and was that way up until like 25) so I can't get too mad at other people for it. It's why I heavily err on the side of caution, only when someone does the maga loop back to something they already agreed is false that I'm like ehhhh...
There's plenty of documentation surrounding people getting banned for little to no reason. Blocking obviously has much less accountability and transparency to it; don't you think people are much more willing to block for even less?
Not to be rude but, there are tons of people in the world and they're all completely different. "I wouldn't do it so nobody else would" is naive.
