Is this the typical behaviour of fediverse users? Posts in Apple and Nintendo communities immediately get downvoted by people disliking the companies. Can’t they just block the communities?

Yes, it's typical.
Votes don't mean much, but communities that deviate from the main spirit have to live with them. (And yes, that's mostly bad, even though in a few cases it's good.)
No, to be fair, they can ban the downvoters
Yes, they can. But that's quite a lot of permanent work. Lots of people interact with the content here without even looking where it is.
I have only seen the "bad" unaligned communities doing that. The ones that actually have interesting stuff seem to just live with the votes.
I don't mean ban every downvoter, but ban repeat downvoters. People who are clearly downvoting most things posted without any pattern.
