Comment on Twitter's removal of block function appears to violate both Apple and Google's app store policies

That’s a different kind of “blocking”.
They’re referring to something more like banning. Kicking people off the service.
That seems to be how the apple store is worded. But google requires in app blocking of users and content, which cannot be reasonably interoperated as moderator removals or bans.
Musk’s proposed change would violate the language in the image for google’s store.

No, on both of them it says the app itself must have the ability to block users. In other words, the user has the ability to block someone. Since neither app would ever allow a user to have the ability to ban someone completely from the site, the blocking function they are referring to is the blocking function as it exists today.
