I'm sure 99% of Apple users would be happy with a popup on first use of Safari that asked "would you like to block adverts?". It would be no skin off Apple's nose.

Even if they end up being blocked by many ad funded sites?

I never cared about what that website had to say that much in the first place. If the entire web gets killed because of this, I'll go read a book.

We'll just block their blocking attempts.

If the adblockers win this cat&mouse game and publishers go broke, everyone looses.

Their app ecosystem would implode as nobody would develop or maintain their ad supported apps anymore.

Does Apple care?
They already essentially killed off "ad supported apps" with App Tracking Transparency, and Apple doesn't earn anything from ads anyway (as opposed to paid apps where they take a cut).
