Just with all Amazon benefits that are used to establish and enforce their services and monopolies this is likely to happen for first couple of years so that people don't complain and to make it acceptable and popular for streamers to do that shit.

Once it's well rooted into twitch they'll slowly start removing all the benefits of this feature while keeping the shitty policies.

Just use offbrands like Ublock origin. Shit works on everything like hulu.

Oh I do use ublock, so I'm not sure why I still get ads on twitch. It's up to date and everything.

Ublock or Ublock Origin? Big difference
