Personal preference on not granting blocks deep under the basket in no different than any of those and as long as you are consistent with your call there is no harm.
When the governing body says it's legal and someone rules it illegal because of personal preference, there is harm. The harm is the defender who did nothing wrong was assesed a foul because of personal preference. The harm is that a team lost a possession because of personal preference. If free-throws were awarded and made, a team got points they didn't deserve because of personal preference. So yes, there potentially can be harm.
