It seems we have a slightly different definition of 'relevant'.
Regardless, we all agree: roadsigns are ugly but ok, billboards are just plain bad.
While relevance has some correlation to value, that correlation is pretty weak; it is easy to find examples of high relevance and very negative value. We should not conflate those.
Your opponent (with whom I agree) argued that the problem with most YT ads and billboards is negative value. Which will stay even if google makes them relevant. My 2c.
