> I don’t understand what’s so hard to understand about the fact that ads is what pays for Facebook to exist?

It's not hard to understand. Everybody knows this is the case. But that excuses nothing.

Also, it's only the case because that's the business model Facebook chose. They could choose a different one.

> You get free access and get to see ads in exchange.

I love how you say that as if it's the ads that are the major issue (it's not, it's the tracking), and as if seeing ads is some sort of benefit.

> If the problem people have is ads

Again, the problem isn't the ads, it's the spying.
