Attack via xmlrpc.php

Hello,
Thanks for the great security solution.

and again XML-RPC!
Unless by “Disable XML-RPC authentication” feature, Wordfence will not block any XML-RPC attack?
But every minute an attack is through XML-RPC.

Also by adding below code to .htaccess, XML-RPC attacks are completely blocked:

<Files xmlrpc.php>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Files>

Truly what’s the difference between these two?
And why by “Disable XML-RPC authentication” Wordfence will not block them?

Thanks in advance.
