IMO DeltaChat is better thought of as “chat tunnel disguised over email” and works best when there is no consideration made for traditional mailbox compatibility, since its killer feature is inbox-fluidity due to only using them as dumb relays and so you can change/add multiple randomly generated fallback addresses for the same identity without being tied to any one inbox.

If I understand correctly, blocking is basically impossible unless a "citizen" is blocked from using any mail server not regulated by a specific country that then demands scanning for it?

I’m more thinking in terms of mailbox-as-identity being a single point of failure leaving you at the mercy of choosing one reliable provider, whereas mailbox-agility means you can migrate transparently. An analogy I would make would be akin to your personal website having your own domain name and hosting on GitHub pages, instead of having your GitHub pages address as your permanent handle.
