This is still the stupidest thing having moved from Android to iOS. Why would anybody want incoming calls to block the entire UI?
Because it is a telephone first and portable computer second.

Absolutely. There needs to be a block this user right on the accept/cancel screen. Apple also needs to track who is doing this and repeat offenders lose access to FT in general or that iTunes account. I really don't understand why calls and texts don't have a default mode to only ring or pass through if they are from a contact. Depending on the government to prevent robo calling seems foolish. We need technology buil…
iOS 13 adds this for phone calls: https://www.macrumors.com/2019/06/06/ios-13-silence-unknown-... Don't know about FaceTime, it's not mentioned so I'm guessing no change on that front.
This is a nice option but a totally different problem. It basically turns incoming calls from strangers into texts. It's for the "millennial" phone user that rarely takes calls and then only from friends. Wouldn't work with FaceTime since there is no mailbox for FaceTime (might be cool if there were though...)
No, the problem here is much simpler. iOS has features for Do Not Disturb as well as blocking spammy callers which both should help here. The problem is they just aren't implemented quite right for this scenario.
