The reason is one. And it is because ad blockers actually do not affect both the publishers and ad companies that much. About only less 5% of the internet users world wide have ever employed ad blockers (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/in-bringing-ad-...). I am sure they will move ad serving to the backend when they get better reasons to shun of client side technology. Its just not worth it....yet.

This is changing fast depending on the audience for your content. Some publishers are now seeing 40%+ of their traffic ad blocked. Some countries are seeing 30%+ of total population using ad block. Ad block usage is up 41% year over year...this is going to be a very serious issue very soon for many publishers.

Some of my numbers are from: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/08/10/study-of-ad-blockin...
