Ad block isn’t the same problem because it doesn’t and can’t steal the creator’s data.

That topic has been debated endlessly and there are plenty of people on HN who are willing to fiercely argue that adblock is theft. I happen to agree with you that adblock doesn't steal data, but I'm also completely unsure why interacting with a tool over a network suddenly turns what would be acceptable on my local computer into theft.
