So then Google just refuses to play the video until the appropriate time expires. Or they embed it in the video feed itself. There are more ways around this than you're making there out to be.
Personally, I'd prefer waiting 15s to start the video than watching 15s of ad before atching the video, ads have been proven to have an effect on your brain that's why they keep showing them to you. It's not about the delay in video watching, it's about the ad itself.
bro just solved the ad blocker problem! google needs to hire this man!!
