You are describing supply and demand. Not much more to it than that. Demand for ad free services is greater than demand from advertisers. What's your point?

You're free to be indignant about the ad industry and other people's willingness to pay for services at this or that price point but at least call a spade a spade.

I have premium for YouTube Music, and because they have certain music I can't get elsewhere, so I get a better YouTube experience and a music streaming service for about the same price I'd pay for just Spotify. I'm satisfied with my purchase and the value I get from it.
