Musk probably
You could argue against creating the feature, but once it already exists and it's not taking up any real processing power or cluttering the interface, why would you ever remove any feature. Does he understand it? No. Do some people use it and find it beneficial? Probably, yeah. Are you forced to use it? No. So what's the problem?
It's like a car manufacturer ordering a recall to remove the the mirror on the passenger side visor because he never uses it. Some people do, my dude, it's not hurting anything, and it will actually cost you money to remove it instead of leaving it. Just leave it alone, dude.
Or... he's not being honest and he wants to remove it because it hurts his ego to know that so many block his account. Yeah, it's probably that.
Imagine if Elon was playing a long con game and is actually trying to kill Twitter on purpose by disguising himself as the rest of the Republicans in support of them.
Like this "10 dimensional chess" game is him actually just doing the most mundane and simple changes to kill the platform intentionally.
Considering that Saudi Arabia still holds enormous amounts of money in Twitter, and twitter was how the Arab Spring and other movements spread, it certainly looks like it's a deliberate crashing of the platform.

Don't most app stores have terms and conditions that require social media websites to have actual functional block features? Having them only work for DMs doesn't feel very functional...

Everytime I think the platform can't get any worse this guy proves me wrong the next week.
probably this is bc of people blocking blue checked people as protest
He blocked himself people and now he is pretending that's its a non sens....
I expect he just found out he's the most blocked person on the platform.
I'm sure this will will end ~~well~~
As I only used Twitter to troll right wingers, this change might bring me back.
