It's about avoiding permanent changes, that change being puberty. The blockers are precisely to buy them time until they're old enough to go all the way.
Puberty occurs naturally at staggeringly varying ages, is influenced by a gazillion of environmental factors, the body can deal with it happening earlier or later perfectly fine.
Though it has to be said that there's some side effects not to blockers as such but late vs. early puberty, if you're on blockers until 16 and then go off you might end up being a bit shorter than you'd otherwise turned out. Which is why, like always in medicine, intervention has to be balanced with doing nothing regarding risks vs. risks, and in the case of kids presenting trans that's always on the side of yes they get blockers because stuff like being shorter is benign, while the increased dysphoria and everything that comes along with undergoing the wrong puberty is an absolute mind-wrecker. Suicide is a worse health outcome, you see.
