I’m sure there’s a million more specific changes to the chemistry of coffee by blooming, but the basics are:

Regular coffee you bloom so channels don’t form for all the water to run down.

With the Aeropress, the coffee foams and could foam over if you fill it, so blooming first let’s you stir the bubbles out and then top it off.

The number of times that I've watched the bloom encroaching over the top of it and then carefully prodding it to release some gas so it can drop down again. I need to be more patient, I think.

are you filling it to the top with water right away?
