Because Cottonmouth is DEAD, that and a lot of actors have been in both the Big Side and Street Side of the MCU. People have been saying they're not canon ever since the beginning, though it really turned up to 100 when: Marvel Studios left Marvel Entertainment in 2015, Alfre Woodard showed up in both Civil War and Luke Cage within months of each other as two prominent characters, and when Agents of SHIELD refused to acknowledge the Snap (and Loeb foolishly claimed Season 6 was pre-Snap, even though the in-show dialogue explicitly says they're in 2019 and Endgame establishes the Snap as 2018).

Even if Cottonmouth is dead, Ali still played him. Thankfully, Blade is British, rocks very extreme, over the top hairstyles and facial hair, and is always wearing sunglasses. As long as he sounds and looks different from Cottonmouth, we shouldn't have any big issues issues.
