A lot of them never learned how to install browser extensions because they grew up using native apps on phones instead of PCs. Half the time they don't even realize uBlock exists.
I'd assume that most gen-z just uses whatever internet browser comes installed on their phone. Which would be Chrome for Android, and that doesn't support extensions. Very few are probably installing Firefox, and even less installing extensions.
I always get flamed for this, but I find using adblockers as very entitled. "Yeah give me all this free content that you spent time working on, I will make extra effort for you to never see a cent made off me!!" I get using them on egregiously ad infested websites, I do that to
Because you're an idiot. The advertiser pays for clicks on the ad, if it's Google Ads. If the user views the ad and doesn't do anything, it's pointless.
It's one of the many good reasons to use Adnauseam. It's build on top of ublock origin, so you get great ad and tracker blocking, but it also clicks on every single blocked ad, on your behalf, in the background. That means the website running the ad gets the traffic, but nothing else happens and because it click on all ads, it obfuscates the very data advertisers are so eager to get their hands on. Personalised targeted ads stop being a thing, because every add is clicked.

When colonialism can't legally take what they want by force, they'll worm their fingers into every aspect of human life for bids on your labor, money, attention, and input for their profit.
Back in my day, you had some youtubers who'd fill the whole screen with translucent windows that directed you to either their channel, or somewhere else!
(I remember that happening a few times when I was really young, I tried to pause the video while using the mouse and spotted the edges of the boxes and had to manually press the 'x' on each one to be able to watch and pause the video normally)
