The block feature should be renamed to “mute”, which is what it seems to actually be. Currently I can apply this to a user and they can still see all my posts. So it’s a good mute feature but a terrible block feature.

You have to know that they're doing this though. Suppose some troll is self-hosting, or part of a very small instance? You'd only know they'd do this if they told you

Yes absolutely, I just wanted to highlight that that problem has an existing deterrent in place.
