Content creators often integrate ad content for sponsors, doing away with the need for 3rd party javascript. Users are entitled to control Javascript on the client side as they see fit. Companies can and do block service for detected ad-blocking or blocked javascript. For the aforementioned with front-ends, they choose not to. They know ultimately they'll make more money from those users in aggregate if they use the service than not. In other words if people "just don't use the service", the service is worse off. There are revenue generators that are effectively endemic to the services by design and cannot be "blocked". Issues aren't just about tracking. Youtube for instance got where it is today by effectively stealing copyrighted content, and they still facilitate and profit from it, notwithstanding screwing over content creators with illegitimate takedowns. There isn't really a persuasive argument that Youtube is entitled to more of your data.
