Having no defederation is not being treated as adults, it's just a free for all. User-specific blocking is not adequate for stopping bad influences on the fediverse and simply can't do the same as instance-level defederation.
Preferring no defederation at all is akin to "free speech absolutism" - it asserts that anyone can say anything and anyone else can just choose to not listen individually. But that's not really a good path for a welcoming and understanding environment.
