You can display ads, just not personalized ones. Might even lead to more static image or text based ads, which have a higher chance of not being blocked by users

Well, it's 2018, and most publishers rely on some 3rd party ad-tech to serve the ads. They don't have direct contracts with advertisers, and definitely has no tech in house. If 3rd party calls are prohibited, their ad revenue disappears overnight.

Will be interesting to see how it develops.
