UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.
Not to say there aren’t companies that do that, because there are plenty…
Well there wouldn’t be a company for very long if they’re blocking potential customers
