I think it because whenever there is piracy or unauthorized access to entertainment or information resource from cable/media companies comes up, apart from company whose property get stolen, all seem to have sympathy towards culprit . The standard arguments are couched in user freedom rather than taking someone's property without consent. All this is because resource is digital so my access does not deprive other.
So blocking is claimed to harmful, immoral, greed by media or cable companies for things some people want to have. And now non-blocking is considered harmful by social media companies for things some people do not want.

Especially when the desired enforcement regime for this concept always seems to necessitate encroachment on their actual property! Copyright applied to individuals is even less enforceable than drug persecution. And we see how well that's working out.
