I think a better analogy would be park assist on a car. You are asking how come you still bump into things when using park assist. We are telling you that park assist is there to make it easier for you to park.

In the same way the ignore function's purpose isn't to completely prevent you from seeing everything from certain users. It is there to help you disregard those users.

Contrary to my earlier joke, I don't use the ignore feature. I find it somewhat counter productive as a mod- if there's somebody who should be on my list, perhaps some moderation is required. However there are some people who I disregard. I generally just skim past their posts unless they have a lot of thanks. The ignore feature would just help me have fewer times I need to skim past posts.

And yes, from a technical standpoint the amount of time and resources required are extensive.
