Most people don't care and so don't vote with their wallet.

Also, people don't realize that sometimes it doesn't even matter

Enough people don't care, don't notice, or in the worst case, even when they do, if the companies band together and don't give people a choice, eventually they will cave and thats what i predict will happen here

In the future i suspect most people's homes will have ads, except for nerds who will have rooted their devices. and hopefully their moms.

A lot of people have gotten so used to their entire lives being saturated in ads that they don't even notice them anymore.

there are enough people who do care to matter. Sometimes we settle for not great answers, but there are generally options for those who care.
