Except software which doesn't work with an adblocker does "suck". Sure, potential users could phrase it more politely, but for many of them (me included), it's a minimum requirement.

At least "sucking" is better than being totally useless.

But in the example given the reason the software doesn't work isn't because it needs ads. It's because the ad blocker is broken.

It's applying a heuristic that triggers a false positive in many cases. Most ad blocking rulesets do tend to include very basic rules like that. I don't know how many ads they actually still catch but if it's a significant number then it's probably a justified one.
