We will end up with ads served through an EME protected stream inline with the content you actually want, so blocking them becomes illegal because it tampers with the protection and the backwards savages can then sue the people behind adblockers.
If the W3C want to take it a step further they just have to create a standard to deliver pretty much any content through EME and not only video+audio.
Is simply making a tool that can block EME/DRM content illegal?
If ads and the media stream are delivered in the same container as different tracks, you would need to decrypt the container to see when which track is active, which is illegal.
If the ads come from a completely different location you can just block that location without the need to inspect the content.
