Disabling this setting means your phone will now ring for every incoming call, including spam, robocalls, and telemarketers. Apple provides this feature as a shield against nuisance calls. Therefore, before turning it off, consider whether you prefer the risk of missing an important unknown call over the annoyance of frequent spam calls. If you unblock unknown calls, you may want to rely on carrier-branded spam identification (like “Scam Likely” labels) or third-party apps such as RoboKiller or Hiya to help filter the noise.
