You’re asking why apple doesn’t ship an adblocker in their browser?
I don't know if that's what the OP meant with that question, but I do think this is a valid question: why don't they? It would certainly improve the user experience.
I think the answer is somewhere upwards of $20 billion a year.

Because Apple sells its customers' traffic to Google for billions of dollars each year.
