It is. Everything in bluesky that runs on the AT protocol (like 99% of it) is currently public.
So if you as the OP detach your post from the QRT, all you are doing is posting a certificate (akin to a revocation cert) that declares the intent that you don't want their QRT to be connected to your post.
An app can still show it. Or it can show it behind a warning prompt. Or it can hide it entirely.
It's an intent and even if it was controlled entirely, a determined third party could still work around it so there's not much point in trying to stop them. Instead you operate on "Don't be a dick" principles.
But would any other client bother to implement this feature? Helping me not see toxic bullshit helps me as a user and I might opt in to various content curation schemes; but, if I am already looking at something, removing the context for what they are talking about does not help me. It is like, imagine if I was permalinked on HN to a flagged comment, because someone wanted me to see it, but the "parent" button didn't work.
Most people will be using the official app or the web site and if you're really dedicated one of the web archives will probably have the post and the quoted post archived.
It's not about being perfect, it's about cutting off wide masses from abusive behavior.
