It's an arms race. Smart developers will pre-load adds if this becomes a widely adopted practice. That way, users who have blocked internet access or happen to be out of coverage will still see ads. I doubt that this will be as big of an issue among general consumers. Also, why is it a bad thing for users to disable internet access on increasingly limited data plans? I know of many people who use ABP on computers with slow connections. I doubt many developers are hurting because users on slow connections aren't seeing ads on their apps.
