I suspect this will be coming soon. For ad-driven companies, having an opaque deployment which would prevent ad-blockers would be ideal.

However ads still need to be delivered over the net so there is still some way to block them (without resorting to router/firewall level blocking).

They'd be raked over the coals for the lack of accessibility, I hope.

That's like the mafia being raked over the coals for not having accessibility ramps for wheelchairs in their clandestine distilleries.

Not gonna happen.

You are probably right. What will happen is that ad-blocker people will indirectly kill accessibility. That would make a lot of sense in this world. Its a reoccuring pattern. Spam killed a part of accessibility indirectly via CAPTCHA. And "it is my god-given right to block ads of free services I use" people will indirectly finally kill accessibility for good, now that we have <canvas>.
