Why would blocking those be a problem?
2 comments

because you are blocking all of Comcast, Verizon, T-Mobile, British Telecom, ....

at the end you have blocked every network with human visitors and only datacenter IPs can access your site.

The proxies rotate IP every day, so you either have ineffective blocking or you block the whole network.

My site is not for americans so I don't care about blocking american isps
You think they only use American networks?
there are 150M+ of them and you'll be taking out a lot of human users with it

modern blocking is behaviour / heuristic based

There are 150 million bots all using residential IP addresses?
