PiHole and similar ad-filtering proxies are a very fragile solution. The moment Google just decides to stream ads through the same domain as the "regular" content (e.g. updates, Play Store, etc.), what exactly is the PiHole going to do? This is not a "cat and mouse" game, like in-browser ad-blockers where the advertisers change something then the ad-blockers try to catch that. The in-browser ad-blockers have a lot more flexibility with blocking content since they are, basically, the consumer of that content. With PiHole, there is a point in which PiHole can just DO. NOTHING. to block content. If Google TV fetches its ads/spyware from playstore.google.com (for example), and uses https, what can PiHole do? Not even MitM, because Google will just pin the certificate. And let's not even get started on DNS-over-HTTPS... PiHole and the like are not long-term solutions.
