Just curious, why have we started blocking when no block-scope variables are being used?

@trevnorris Someone suggested it to make sure that the last call in the block here wouldn’t be accidentally moved around in the file/away from the preceding calls that made it fail

This backports #7051 (by @addaleax) to v5.x.
It landed cleanly and is straightforward fix for #7047.
I originally included this in #7169 backport, but that one is semver-minor, and I'm not exactly sure if the next 5.x release will be a semver-minor, but I definitely want this to make it into the next 5.x release.
/cc @jasnell, you already reviewed this backport in #7169, but could you also leave a comment here?
Also /cc @thealphanerd
