Not all alliances are mutually exclusive. Pakistan is a major non NATO ally but India has closer relationship with US via quad in terms of Chinese threat. If there is a conflict between India and China then US would supply weapons to India and Pakistan would provide support to China.

True, but this doesn't invalidate my point that it is not necessarily very meaningful to just compare security alliances.
Can we talk about CSTO even being a security bloc if its members are fighting each other unchecked?

I was not contradicting your point but agreeing to it. Not all alliances are equal and not all alliances are exclusive.
