In the U.K. it for load distribution. But we also use thermal type blocks which aren’t as dense as concretes.

When I build I always use (in stead of pressure treated wood) a flexible membrane between the blocks and the wood. The membranes I use is usually rubber membrane or narrow sheets of modified bitumen. It really does the job well.

Pressure treated wood should not be in direct contact with concrete. It starts to smell y need to have something in between

This really isn’t the reason! The straps are far more important and worth mentioning.

it's a wallpaper and it's to ensure consistent movement between all joists, weight spreading, and leveling (ie it it's often bedded down to ensure it's completely level)

That’s not what it’s for!! If the block is ‘always putting out water’, you have much bigger problems..
