I think at least some of it is how podcasts are consumed compared to other media. I (and I think most other people) listen to podcasts while doing something else, (jogging, washing dishes, driving, etc), which both makes pulling out my phone to fastforward through ads difficult, while at the same time, its easy to just shift my focus to whatever else I'm doing until the ad ends, making them less annoying.
