Feed generation is already a very complex process implementing hundreds or thousands of variables to show every single user only posts that are likely to be relevant to them. Filtering out any posts by blocked accounts shouldn't matter here. The real reason why Elon removed the feature is probably that he realized he was the most blocked person on Twitter, lol.
