There are more reasons than that, but it’s definitely near the top of my list.

Definitely, but if I was trying to make a sales pitch to an average person, that's what I'd lead with. Add-ons on FF Mobile make something like YouTube Premium completely redundant

Well not really, not having ads is only like 1/3 of the feature set of youtube premium

Premium only gets a third of the ads anyway. In-video sponsors, Shorts, News, Shopping, Irrelevant search results, Memberships, Data Tracking, and Hidden Dislikes are all still present.

Another reason for the average person: Ads eat up your data cap, they're costing you money if your carrier/isp auto charges you if you go over.
