you're missing the fact that OS developers like ads, because they want the OS to be a platform where devs can make money.

I avoid ad supported apps, so if those devs move to companies that I support, it might actually help me?
If it damages the the OS, that’s a problem for me on a Mac/ios but not so much with Ubuntu.
It’s not that long ago that I was paying for OS updates (that seems wild, I had to go and check). If it went back to that and I had no ads, it would be a straight win.
