Don't forget that Google is a billion-dollar company primarily because they sell a lot of ads. Why do you think Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, etc. are free to use? Because they make a lot of money (from ads), so they can hire the best developers to build awesome tools that (almost) everybody loves. They could stop doing ads altogether and instead just ask money for using all Google products directly, but it'd just be really expensive, and people usually don't like to pay for stuff they think should be free.

No, some people think every company on internet owe them free service. I use ad-blockers too; but I do not whine out of entitlement. This is the reason I hate ad related discussions - full of entitlements and whinings.
