Eventually they’ll just edit the video directly and insert the ad with no chapter markers

Doesn't really matter. Ads are blockable by nature as they will always contrast with the content and are always the same. Worst case we might get a black screen for as long as the ad goes, but we'll always be able to block them. There's nothing YouTube can do.
