I'd say that it hasn't been Tor's goal. But blocking has become so common that user pressure to prevent it can no longer be ignored. If they don't act, they risk being replaced. I typically get around it by routing a VPN service, or a private VPN, through Tor. That also enables apps that require UDP. There is the risk of deanonymization, if VPN connections last too long and pin Tor circuits. Or if users don't adequately anonymize payment for VPN services or VPS used for private VPNs. I started playing with a set of bash scripts that creates multiple VPN connections, with each using a different Tor circuit, and tests them. It periodically switches from one to another, and kills the old one. So both Tor circuit and VPN exit IPv4 change periodically. A script ongoingly starts and tests new VPN connections, to maintain availability. It's basically a crude hack of Tor's approach to circuit management.
