The idea is you don't have to block those since there is no attack surface.

I look at the imap login attempts on my server sometimes. The passwords they try are usually pathetic. Nothing close to the 15+ character actual passwords we have in use.

So the idea is I shouldn't need an alarm system in my house because all my valuables are kept at a safe that can't be opened by anyone but me?

I disagree with this, 404 queries still use resources and someone trying URLs in a matter of seconds should be blocked nonetheless.
