I wonder if this is just a shortcut to create a filter. That would make the most sense, at least.

Yep. I think less sophisticated users would be intimidated by creating a filter and this solves for that.
Yeah, the filter config for GMail is very full-featured. Like there are a dozen actions you can take on a mail, all listed on a single popup. Makes sense to provide an easier path.
But no regexes :(
Count me as a “less sophisticated user.” I lack the patience to futz about clicking and selecting on things when all I want to do is block someone.
