Because no one wants to see ads in general. Google does this with YouTube TV (which ad do you want to watch?) and the answer is always "neither" but that's not an option.
Banner ads were web 1.0. Your data is used to manipulate you now. Your echo chamber is shaped by it. You are exposed to specific biases and content with the path of least resistance being the way of the highest bidder. It doesn't take very much data given to a LLM AI and it can predict what you will do in many circumstances including how you will respond to different stimuli. This is the real value of extensive data. Someone that wants to win an election or scam you with a product can simulate millions of real individuals and accurately predict how they will react to various events, and circumstances. This is becoming targeted where the information you think is random or public, is anything but.
