The old tenant of the internet was “if you don’t like something, block it”. All of these people saying that this doesn’t work in practice on their social media websites have not provided an explanation as to why this is the case.

No, they haven’t been trying to solve the problem. They want the bots on there for financial and political reasons. It is easy to solve the problem - require identification to use the site. I mentioned the advantages of social media doing this about 10 years ago and was downvoted on this very website because of “privacy and anonymity on the internet is great!”.
