VPNs exist. All blocking of websites is just a slight inconvenience at the end of the day.

Blocking, yes. Bans can be more, though. When poor opsec gets you defenestrated or shipped to an offshore entertainment facility, it's a bit more than an inconvenience.

i've heard defenestration only happens in russia.

I don't think anyone reads "X ban" as sending people to offshore "entertainment" facilities. Lol.
