Google/Facebook/Apple may not be as concerned by this as you may think; strategically, they would probably be happy if slow decline of advertising income on desktop would eventually make every publisher to move to walled gardens of mobile platforms, completely controlled by them.

You may end up with a world with nearly unblockable, more creepy ads, and no more open web as we know it today.

Ad-blocking is ad-blocking, you'll always be able to do it another way if one current way no longer works. It might be inconvenient (as it is on an iPhone, for example), but we'll get there.
