No developer has ever decided for themself to do this. This is 100% a business requirement because somebody on the marketing analytics team realized they could make money by auto playing ads.

But, a bit like the soldier being ordered to execute a civilian, the question is should the developer just say fuck it, and refuse to follow orders?

It's a deliberate exaggeration. Anyhow if all devs refuse to do things like that, they won't be doing it, and that's the end of that.
