Isn’t the problem that posts are public even to users that are not logged in? They probably feel like there’s no point in just forcing stalkers to log off to view them.
But a blocked user would just need to sign out to see all these things anyway. You’re just giving people a false sense of security. Does mastodon prevent non-longed in users from seeing your posts?
But they can’t comment on them. To do that, they’d have to create a new account. And, if they did that, you’d see it and be able to report them (if it’s a reportable offense, and, in most cases, it is) or block them (or both).

this is how blocking should work. if you are publishing something to the public, there is no reason to expect others can’t see it comment on it
