Many of us know quite well the effort that was put into making a framework because we, too, have worked on compilers. Your comparison is not a great one, because we aren't talking about Adam blocking Sara, we're talking about the comment he made, and that he didn't at all think he should "consider how he would be perceived and his large platform", and this is entirely because of systemic sexism and racism. When you're not held accountable for this kind of behavior, while marginalized folks have to consider these things to simply safely exist in these spaces - that's enabling and upholding that same system.
We wouldn't be having this conversation had Adam taken the time to consider how irrational and manipulative what he was typing was, his enormous cult-like following and how they might treat Sara as a result, not because we wouldn't know about it and have the opportunity to talk about how racism and sexism enable and protect this type of behavior, but because it would have meant that Adam thought critically at all, instead of just reacting off of his unfounded expectations of Sara.
