As much as I despise Musk and Twitter and hope that both die a painful death, what is actually proposed here is honestly a change for the better: It’s not about preventing people from blocking users, it’s about blocked users being able to see public posts, which they could also see by just logging out. This is being honest about what a block does and avoids giving people a wrong sense of privacy that they simply don’t have on the platform. From what I’ve heard there is a possibility to post for followers-only which in combination with requiring approval to follow and that isn’t going away here either…

Nah, bullshit. This is 100% Musk's fragile ego getting upset that people blocked him. He wants to be able to force his and his evil friends' opinions into the faces of people who don't want to see it.

Please read again what he changed and then try to figure out why your rationale is clearly not what this is about.
