It's really weird that Google isn't dealing with them. Maybe they're geotargeting everywhere-but-Mountain-View or something? Malware ads on AdSense are neither uncommon nor subtle, but Google's acting like they're not there.

It's really weird that Google isn't dealing with them

It's never "weird" for a company to choose not to attack its own revenue base.

Except Google knows that low-quality ads are driving people to ad-blockers
Exactly. Adsense had this problem in the Netherlands and it turned a lot of my visitors to ad blockers, even though advertising on my website was meant to be subtle.
