How can you be sure it's not used for ads, their privacy statement says they do[1]: "You provide some of this data directly, and we get some of it by collecting data about your interactions, use, and experiences with our products." "Microsoft uses the data we collect to provide you with rich, interactive experiences. In particular, we use data to: ... Advertise and market to you, which includes sending promotional communications, targeting advertising, and presenting you with relevant offers."

TL;DR: AdvertisingID handles ad tracking in windows and can be opted out of during install, in settings and globally on your account. AFAIK you can also wipe any previously tracked data. AID tracking is unrelated to telemetry.
Telemetry does not contribute to advertising at all unless "tailored experiences" is enabled in settings, and even then the data is mostly used for Microsoft to suggest features and fixes for problems.
