Blooming in an Aeropress would seem to be unneeded to me if you are agitating.

Any type of immersion brew benefits from immediate agitation in my experience, aeropress and french press (which gets aggressively swirled under my hot water tank while it's filling.) You can aggressively stir aeropress as well, you just need to manage it dripping from the bottom using more filters, finer grind, invert method, etc.
Aeropress should make this acessory standard-issue with their coffee makers, so that we don’t have to rely on other methods to reduce drip-through:

The inverted method is an even easier way to achieve this :)
You still have to screw a lid on it, how is it any easier than simply screwing on a different lid? Or perhaps you meant “cheaper” instead of “easier”. :-)
