My 3-year-old illiterate child keeps saying "skip" and pounding the skip button until it becomes available, every time he sees an YouTube add.

Hypothesis: maybe they're all like that?

(I do limit and monitor his YouTube use)

Considering just how susceptible children are to advertising brainwashing, you might shed the guilt of skirting video ads on YouTube by installing an ad blocker (ex: uBlock Origin). Morality of blocking ads aside, I wouldn't want my children watching the number of pre-roll ads that YouTube pushes out. As a side effect, your child won't spend an hour a week clicking a skip button, or sitting though the ads that aren't even skippable.
