If this bug is indeed deemed urgent by the community, it will be fixed very soon, and in that case blocking the next release, which will not happen tomorrow or the next week, is meaningless. OTOH, if the bug will remain unfixed till we are ready to release Emacs 26.1, in, like, 6 months, then it means fixing it is not deemed important, and blocking the release for it makes no sense.
A similar argument could be applied to any blocking bug, so why bother to mark any bug as blocking?
I find value in having even easily-fixed bugs marked as blocking, if the bugs are important (as this one surely is).
