If keys get hacked there’s no recovery.

But I see what you mean, eg someone I follow gets hacked and turns spammer?

What about a 24hr block?

I log in and see 5 people have temp blocked me? Huh? Maybe someone I follow has become a spammer?

Lots of nuance that could be added, but the simplest rule set is to serve a whitelist of all my followers followers.

Everyone would have a unique whitelist and they would shift organically all the time.

It would also promote good behaviour within the network. Potential loss of reach for bad behaviour.

If the key leaks the block has to be permanent. You can't distinguish attacker from rightful owner.

True, but the idea was to warn those that follow the hacked account, before you unfollow them. So they have time to react and unfollow the spammer.

Why does it matter if someone I follow follows s spammer if the person is not reposting the spam messages?

Because the follower graph is used to identify spammers. If non spammers follow spammers, this gets harder to do, hence the penalty.

I see, that makes sense.
