Advertisers would hate that kind of model. They want perfectly targeted and customized ads for each individual viewer. Baking the ads into the content or page itself would be going back about 20 years in their world.

They can bake the ad servers side in the binaries.

They could do bake ads in JS too, but websites aren’t really incentivized to do so as it would increase latency and complexity.

And also advertizers rightly do not trust the content provider not to lie about how many times they showed the ad.
