Apple denies the user reasonable control of the device they purchased. (Denying access to the HOSTS file is unreasonble in my opinion.)
But Apple does not (yet) exercise control over the network(s) that the user has joined.
As long as the user can still control at least some aspects of her own network (yes, she still can), then the user can block ads.
In my case, I use DNS to block ads. It is remarkably effective. But there are certainly other ways to do it.
