How could YouTube know you won't ever convert beforehand, and at scale? If they started blocking users for suspicion of not buying anything from ads they would have to block a sizeable portion of their traffic and that would have a negative impact on their company.

YouTube doesn't care if you buy what the ad is selling. They are selling the fact that you viewed the ad.
