Generally it is a good idea for admins to have

doubt many would dispute that. However, it should not be made to seem
compulsory. We are, after all, volunteers here and if one admin does not
have e-mail enabled it should be easy enough to e-mail another. I don't
like the idea that admins "must" do certain things, there is nothing
they must do.
If they block someone, then they should be responsible for it. And
since they all have the power to block people, it is better to be sure
that they can be contacted by a user who has no other way of
contacting them directly.

The short answer is: If I block someone, it's not like I have to
respond to their emails anyhow. While it'd be nice to enable an
email address - if I'm not taking emails, it'd be better if that was
clear, rather than dishonestly letting them sit in an "in" bin
forever. Anybody's who's been blocked can request a review from a
second admin anyhow {{unblock|reason}}
