The reason I see are the interoperability issues with XEP-0191 clients. Currently, if users choose "block this contact" in Gajim, that contact won't appear as blocked in clients using XEP-0191.¹ Nevertheless, most communication with that contact are blocked. I think that's a bad user experience. If we can fix that without deprecating XEP-0016, I'm happy, but so far I don't understand how that could be done. Holger ¹ At least when using ejabberd. As the mapping rule seems unclear to me, I'm not sure other servers behave the same way.
