As it has been said already this is an automatic action programmed I am sure with the best of intentions. I also tend to immediately unblock as I find it annoying to have to click on "see blocked message" every time unless the user has been bothering me in dms.
However, it doesn't mean no one is acting on the report. Someone will I am sure look at it later and is probably in some very long queue of reports to be looked at by the mods who are mostly volunteers and are I am sure rather overwhelmed with such reports. We should be thanking them and not criticising them. They probably feel that they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
