A locked front door provides basic protection for a private domicile. Twitter is not private. A more apropos analogy to Twitter's block functionality would be holding a meeting in the park and yelling at certain people to stop listening because you don't like them being around. You can yell all you want but you can't actually stop them from hearing you or listening if they're interested, and it's unreasonable to expect to be able to do so.
