Because, the ones who block stuff often don't keep up with what is work related. So in the end you have to write lots of e-mails until they notice that you are one of the few users that should be allowed to use the whole internet.

Eventually, one day they will find out that their blocking is too strict and that they should restrict the blocking to sites which actively try to attack the users computer...

So it is more of an execution problem, but as it fails quite often you could call it stupid to invest into such a feature.
