In both cases you're area-blasting and it's just not cool to hit fellow PCs without their OK.
If your PC knows I want to blast something, so you move in harms way to prevent me, that's not cool.
Telling people they can't play blasters because you don't want to exercise reasonable caution or play as part of a team, is unreasonable.
I had this exact situation.
I won initiative and readied and action to color spray the bad guy as he was coming at my character specifically.
Another player a ninja used vanish scored a crazy high stealth and stood in front of my action where I declared i would color spray.
The bad guy moves forward I announce to the ninja is it a DC 19 color spray. He said there is no PVP in PFS and thus my action was canceled. I spoke with the DM that my character has no intention of hitting a teammate but I have no idea he was there and he purposely moved into my action. The DM agreed. He failed his save. He threw a tantrum at the table.(this guy i would later learn has the worst traits you would ever want from a player at the table)
The funny thing after the fact is we left his invisible colorsprayed body there and continued our romp through the city and the Dm made him do checks to find us, and he missed the next encounter too.
As a blaster, I specifically aim my fireballs to not hit teammates, since, if they fail they catch fire (yes I burn alchemist fire to do so.) I even use a rod of selective metamagic to shield out allies. One time, I had a situation, an invisible rogue was preventing me from getting anyone. The GM said I couldn't target him with the selective because I couldn't see him. He said "Cast it I'll stop drop and roll if I fail" I cast he saved (thankfully) and all the bad guys were "stop dropping and rolling."
