Wasting time is nor considered stealing. If it were, there is a long queue to collect money from: all the add agencies, telephone menues where you have to go 10 level deep before you speak to a person, anyone who is bothering people on the street with questions, anyone making your possessions dirty would be a criminal. Anyone going on a date that doesnt work out would be a criminal.

Nor is breaking my computer monitor.
Theft was meant as an example of a type of harm, not a complete list of all types of harm.
Something doesn’t have to be illegal to be harmful.

Sure, but I'm still going to be pretty annoyed with you. And if you've wasted my time by messing with a system or process under my control then I'm probably going to block you from that system or process.
As a really prosaic example, I've blocked dozens - if not hundreds - of recruiter email addresses on my work email account.
