Maybe it depends on the country? I've got a LG C9 and can't recall _ever_ getting any ads in webOS since buying it. In fact, the most annoying thing is the Rakuten button I never use on the "smart" remote.

I've overall been very happy with our LG TV and have been recommending it highly over our old Samsung - which was slowly updated to remove features and eventually took about 45 seconds to boot up.

I have also never seen a single ad on my LG TV in Germany. I'm mostly using the Netflix and Prime Video apps, but still the overall user experience seems way ahead of Samsung TVs.
The C9 was the last LG OLED with a non-full screen app launcher.
Was it? On my CX when I press "home" on the remote it only opens a little bar at the bottom of my screen with all the apps. Or do you mean something else?
Ah my apologies, it must've been the C1 then.
