You don't think so? Isn't the whole point of this extension to try and trick advertisers into paying for non-existent user engagement?

But the user never makes any kind of claim or promise that their advert clicking represents real user engagement.

It's up to the advertiser to accurately classify user behaviour, and the user has no responsibility to make that easy for them.
