yeah like who has a few days of youtube ad blocking not work then goes "that's it im uninstalling this ad blocker and going back to ALL THE ADS EVERYWHERE

You vastly overestimate the average user. Probably installed an ad locker cause heard from a friend or coworker. Then stops letting them watch YouTube so they uninstall. Go to a non techie and browse the web it's insane.

I know someone who is non-technical who asked how to remove the ad blocker they had when YouTube displayed the message, as they didn't know you could turn it off per site, so anecdotally that is something that does happen.
