I don't know why, but I saw what happened to some of such accounts: blocks would be removed and be replaced by being disabled later. Though this is basically the same thing, right? They function the same, yes. Except that globally blocking is done through Special:Phalanx and is reversible, and disabling is done though Special:EditAccount and is very very very hardly reversible, I don't know of any case when Staff were willing to undisable an account. Staff ran a maintenance script in October to disable accounts that have been blocked permanently for over three months, that's why you often see accounts of globally blocked users disabled.
