I actually think that you are correct. I employ ad blockers, mass delete cold emails, and intentionally do not click "sponsored" links (even if they happen to be the one I really need). And yet, I had to "teach" my wife to avoid clicking ad links, and install ad blocker on her computer. And I assume most "regular" people are like this. And "our" mentality, at least in my case, makes it hard to run a business as I see cold emails and ads as scam.
