Since when does Denuvo block mods?

The whole point of Denuvo (and any DRM in games) is to prevent modifying the running code. Unless there's some kind of official modding system, there will be no way to inject DLLs or do anything else invasive to the running game.

When it doesn’t allow DLC unlockers (which Denuvo blocks)

That’s quite a stretch. Denuvo is used for DRM, so of course it will block people from cracking DLC.

But you can’t just say “Denuvo blocks mods” because that is blatantly untrue, and all it takes is five minutes browsing Nexus Mods to find thousands of mods for Denuvo-protected games like RE4 Remake. Or even just install ReShade.
