Well, Paper is trying to fix the result of vanilla Minecraft's range check. Taking their perspective, they wanted to fix the issue where <6 blocks worked, but >6 blocks caused desync. So it is natural to reply in the "else" block with "no you can't break that". They just didn't think of adding yet another range check with a looser limit on top of that.

I wasn't around for when the patch was engineered into Paper, but from what I'm told, yes that was the idea. :)
