This is not as strange as you might think. The computer manufacturers have been doing it for years. You know the AOL link and the games and other junk that comes on a new PC? It's not there for your convenience, heck, I bet you don't ever use most of any of it. It's there to "subsidize" the computer. If you want what we call a "clean image" - one without the garbage so your computer runs better and has only what you want on it, it will cost you more. More for less, like a bikini. And they don't make that option easy to find either.
As for ads on websites, I almost never see them with firefox -
Tools - Add Ons - Get Add-ons
Search for "AdBlock Plus"
Looks completely different than on my iPhone. And I pay for bandwidth on iPhone which means I pay to see those ads.
