So in bleach currently, Reiatsu crush seems to affect the physical body as well as the soul. However, that is a mistaken stance.
1. It is a matter of soul manipulation, not raw power.
In Bleach, there is scene involving Tatsuki. It is important to note that Tatsuki is considered a literal non-combatant fodder and holds a lower-than-low tier status. However, in this scene, Tatsuki showcased an impressive feat of resistance against having her soul extracted by a relevant villain: Yammy, who is astronomically more powerful than Tatsuki. In fact, the power gap between the two characters is even greater than Yhwach and Ichibei during the first half of their fight.
Therange of power in the world of Bleach is astronomically vast, but the characters who are actually relevant possess a basic level of resistance to soul manipulation. This is necessary to prevent them from being soul crushed by characters who are vastly more powerful than them.
2. It has only been shown affecting souls, we have no way of quantifying how it affects phsyical beings.
It is worth noting that in Bleach, most battles is a Soul vs. Soul confrontation, or in rare cases, a physical body vs physical body match. This means you have no way of quantify how something like soul crush works on physical beings.
"but the soul is linked to everything in bleach. "
That proves my point even more. If you have no way to quantify if its affecting the soul or the physical body, is it really a pure physical ap attack? Doesnt help the only example of reiatsu crush in the wol is with tatsuki.
Does this change anything verse wise? Probably not?
But characters with layered soul manipulation resistor potency exceeding the rc should be able to resist it.

- Aura (Overwhelming, Fear Inducement, Materialized and Explosive: Reiatsu induces a plethora of different aliments/effects onto those that affected by it like Soul Manipulation[15], Paralysis Inducement[17], Fear Manipulation[18] and many others)
- Possible Invulnerability (Souls are implied to only be able to be damaged by attacks that strike on the astral level[25], This is further implied by Jackie's statement[26])
