It's trivially easy to clicky the X and never see the ad again, but that's not the point.
Chrome doesn't serve ads normally, so when it suddenly does that's (to some people) an unwelcome change in behaviour. If Google decides that Chrome is allowed to serve me ads on my "Most Visited / Apps" page what other Google products might I see there?
And I'm someone who doesn't block ads! If I'm uncomfortable with Google suddenly changing my software to allow it to push this ad at me I can only image what the extreme anti-ad fringe is saying.
