This is a limitation of iOS. Android browsers can support extensions just fine. In fact, every browser on iOS is just a skin of Safari since the App Store doesn’t allow 3rd party browsers.
Safari does have a “content blocking API,” but it’s far more limited than desktop extensions.
People like to glorify Apple for being “privacy friendly,” but with Android you have the power and the tools to improve your privacy significantly over iOS.
If you really need adblocking, I recommend AdGuard for iOS (which uses the content blocking API) and Pi-hole (for whole network DNS filtering). Good luck.
