Yeah, for now. I'm doing my part to change that. People love the fact uBlock Origin blocks the idiotic YouTube ads. There's always Brave if for some reason they can't stand Firefox.
And hey, if Apple will crack down on Facebook's espionage over privacy concerns, who says they won't do the same to these advertisers and their abusive surveillance capitalism? Maybe they'll realize that advertising is pure noise nobody cares about and block all ads in order to improve usability. Maybe one day they'll get pissed they aren't getting their fair 30% share of advertiser revenue and block them out of spite. Maybe they'll wake up one day and simply decide to kill the ads industry. Now that's a delusion worth having.
Apple's privacy stance is questionable (see the recent content scanning debacle).
Plus, I would say they profit more when the web experience on their devices is inferior to apps, which means annoying ads and popups help drive people to use apps, which Apple profits from... (and some companies, like Reddit, actively participate in annoying their own users to get the app).
