Exactly - while you and I might route our DNS queries by carrier pigeon to avoid tracking, some of my family actually like personalized ads on social media and even buy things from them.

I installed an ad blocker on our home Internet on a raspberry pi. My wife told me to take it off.
To be fair dns ad blocking causes problems to everyday browsing, I understand your wife complaining about it.
You are correct, however I shared this anecdote because her stated reason was she missed the ads.
I have never met anyone who enjoyed ads. These people do not exist.

They might fall for ads. In the same way I smoked for years and hated smoking.
