Which thankfully not all blockers (censors) use, and equally
some relay operators then leverage their anti censorship
philosophy into those holes.

In part because fear of getting rejected by the rest of the internet, sued,
and chilled into shutdown for not providing easy means of censorship.
Legal best for a corporation et al and paychecks, is not always in
alignment with profferred, or even all potential, use cases of its products,
or users of same.

Those who block tor exit traffic from tor nodes inbound to their networks
could care less than a fuck about allowing non-exit traffic from tor nodes
inbound to their networks.
It's operators trying to surf out from their nodes, and hosting services
trying to make money (by taking non-exit money while avoiding taint).
that cared about establishing such distinction.

Chilling and censorship is real. That sucks. Fight it.
