Consider that there are plenty of ad blockers but no "unreasonable-ad blockers" (according to some policy). There's at least a niche here to be filled for people who only want some ads (the worst ones) to be blocked.

Compromise solutions do tend to be more popular with people in a position to benefit if a compromise can be reached.

There are - such as https://adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads . This puts ad blockers in the ironic position of earning money via ad revenue...

Oh that's right. I guess we'll see which policies become popular.

Who want ads to be blocked but are ok to be tracked.

I don't really care and don't see why should I. Hysteria over tracking / "loss of privacy" seems overblown to me.
