So that people don't get angry?
Pretty sure user anger didn't stop the prevalence of pop-up Punch The Monkey adverts. The massive rise in adblocking forced the ad industry to stop being quite so obnoxious.

So, yeah, relying on advertisers to not piss off users is a bit much given their business model relies on interrupting your attention.
