Expert flyer - What exactly is a 'blocked' seat

Just got a free subscription, and looking at my upcoming flights and noticed that on both BA0049 and BA0048, 15 E is blocked

According to expert this is 'The seat has not been assigned to a passenger, however it is being blocked by the airline for some reason. A common use is to allow seating assignments to be under airport control.'

But I dont really get what that means?

Do they get unblocked? Myself and the other half would prefer 15 E and F, but this appears not to be possible
