The ads are delivered separately for now. You bring up an interesting idea; I guess they aren't able to store the ads in the video stream for now.

They can't personlize ads then, unless they are willing to put extreme load on their servers for every video ever requested

Not necessarily. It's possible to splice together compressed video streams without reencoding them. See https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate
