The bock takes care of the account level. It does not take care of the individual tweet level.
And with block you don't have the aggregation of reported spam tweets that automatically results in an account suspension. Plus, to block you have to specifically visit the user's profile to find the block link. With tweet spam reporting the button would be right there in your own timeline. Far more people will participate in that action, because it requires no additional navigation.
