I can't image that ad blockers or ReVanced has any real impact on YouTube. I'm the only one I know using either. So that's 1 in about 300 maybe?

Locking down Chrome and killing ad blockers is not some huge effort, it's closer to the flick of a wrist. Neither is locking down android. They can just do it. And if they think there is nothing anybody can do about it, they will, to get that last 0.01%.

But no doubt they are under an enormous amount of pressure to do this from a variety of corporations and governments as well.
