Google is not thinking about ad blockers at all here.

The first example in the WEI doc is enforcing that ads are viewed by humans: https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/...

Sure, and that text has nothing to do with preventing the blocking of ads. It is not saying "humans shall be forced to watch ads", like you're implying. It is saying that bot clicks/views to ads should not count. (It is also saying that websites want proof of probable humanity, usually via captchas, and we should have better ways of doing that. But that aspect of the bullet point isn't really specific to ads in any way.)
