If the user is commenting in a sub which you mod, then you can still see their content.

Yes, but you can't see their activity on other subs to see if they are just a jerk on yours or everywhere. It can make context of their behavior hard to see, without using another browser or private browser session to check.

It's also worse, because blocks prevent the person who is blocked from replying to anyone later in a comment chain. It changes the reddit experience for the blocked person, at the random whom of anyone on a brigade.
