I checked the EK website to see if those are only for sale to high status members (I have no status on EK) like on BA but found no such mention - it appears EK is happy to sell those to anyone.

Any idea why these seats are blocked and what can I do?
The seating policy is quite comprehensively explained here: https://www.emirates.com/za/english/...eat-selection/

As skyward hunter mentioned, EF is somewhat confusing as it shows these seats as 'blocked', which technically is not true.
