Killers shouldn't be able to block the hatch

So I was getting chased in a game just now and I had a key I found so I used it in the hatch and escaped. I spectated and the remaining 2 survivors ran for the hatch but the killer just stood on top of it nodding at them and gloating.

I managed to record the end of it but I'm not sure how to upload videos.

How is this fine? Why is the killer able to block the option for the survivor to jump in the hatch? even if the killer grabbed one at least the other could have made it.

    The killer want play a game.
    1 Survivor use 1 item.

    With bodyblocking:
    1 survivor left the game,but the killer can still play/win/lose the game.
    Without bodyblocking:
    The killer can hook 1 survivor.
    Then the game is over.
    And maybe the killer depiped, because 1 survivors use 1 item.

    Killer is literally standing still and doing nothing, why wouldnt the survivors finish gens or open a gate? Killer didn't do anything that stopped the game, if anything they gave the team more time. If the killer cant even defend a single point against bp greed then the communities sense of balance is truly in a bad spot.

    Cus the hatch is only open for a limited time after key usage.

    So if someone uses a key why should the killer just let them escape.

    Just because the killer's haunted grounds activate doesn't mean I should point at the hook and accept death

    MYC is only active for a limited time. I don't see you standing still and letting the Killer hit you.

    You said before i was survivor sided. Well, imo blocking the hatch is a legit tactic. Actually, survivors shouldnt rush to the hatch if they see the killer blocking it, so it's on them.
    Edit: shouldnt rush if there's more than 1 survivor alive.

    Then wouldn't that count as countering a hatch play. The other option is just letting them go and maybe grab one on exit. Being able to stop one max is not really a dependable option and downing on hatch isn't even viable because of cooldown. At best the killer can hope final gen doesn't pop before the hatch shuts.
