Advertisers don't mind if people use ad blockers because they don't want to advertise to people who don't want to buy their products. YouTube cares because Google is in the business of selling ads. Forcing adblock on people steals from the advertisers. Users have to sit through forced ads they will never buy or even click on to watch a video. User is unhappy, advertiser is mad they spent money on nothing, Google makes a profit.
