Honey, I run a Mastodon. At least half of the server blocks I do come from my users saying "hey have you seen this post on #fediblock yet". If I stopped dealing with that stuff, my users would migrate their accounts (and their donations for the server upkeep) to another server that's better at keeping up with that. They've got "power over their own identity" without having to deal with the network effects of using Yet Another Social Media Protocol that's completely incompatible with existing open protocols; part of their power over their identity includes delegating me as the social plumber who maintains the Asshole Filter on our social space.
