I have lots of UI windows open over the top of my screen and focus on chatting in FC, LS or tabbing out, so I tend to ignore what people are doing anyway. I doubt I'm alone in that.
If you unlock a new duty while they're following you and you queue there and then because you don't know that they're following you, they can queue snipe you in order to force an interaction inside the duty.
Then you can leave it, or you could just not interact with them and complete the duty. You can do dungeons with NPCs and trials have 8 people so whoever you blacklisted is probably not required to beat the duty.

Let's not forget, that if this does prevent people viewing someone's lodestone profile entirely (even with the URL), then they can transfer and rename and the person should not be able to identify their home world.
Another concern of mine is that this feature will also result in less stalking and harassment cases actually being resolved; you cannot report stalking and harassment that you don't know about
Arguably, if you don't know about it, then they are more likely to get bored, since they are attention-seeking.
