Most people over here - well, on the internet in general, are tech-illiterate. Sure, they may “know” how to use a mouse, or a keyboard, or use apps but they don’t understand or take software licenses seriously - I mean, there’s anarchist and leftist power-users and software devs, who enforce copy-farleft and hippocratic licenses in their software, but non-tech people don’t understand the significance of FSF-approved licenses.

That’s all true, but I don’t even consider adblocking to be high level power user stuff so much as basic bare minimum usability.
