Why are blocked callers allowed to leave a voicemail

Because "blocking" the callers on the phone simply prevents the phone from ringing and rejects the call. The call is then processed by your cellular carrier, dropping to their voicemail system as any call you reject or don't answer does.

How many calls does it take to fill up the voicemails

Ask your cellular carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature, not a function of the phone.
