Don't they sell ads in the web UI like many other free email providers do?

And they sell the business accounts; because so many people are used to gmail for their personal accounts, quite a few companies are paying for that.

I use gmail but I never see ads because I always use a non-Google mail client. (Thunderbird on Windows and Linux), SimpleEmail on Android.

You're an edge case and a rounding error. Enough people use the web UI and the Gmail app that they likely don't care about other users.
