Getting hit with is a baseball isn't inherent to much of the game of baseball (aside from enforcing unwritten rules, apparently), but it's still a thing that one can reasonably expect to happen from time to time.
While I agree, yes, ads aren't necessarily inherent to much of the web, that's not the world we currently live in. We could live in that world, eventually, with either legislation or some tech advance that completely destroys the ad industry's ability to target ads, but right now one can reasonable expect that they will encounter ads on the web. Knowing that, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask someone to use an adblocker if they're complaining about ads on the web.
(I think we're using "reasonably" in different ways - I mean it as "something that someone involved with an activity knows can happen" (something that's reasonably foreseeable), like being hit with a baseball while playing baseball, as opposed to "it is a logical and good thing that something is happening", such as web advertising.)
