TBH, when this went on the roadmap we hadn't even considered advertising. It was purely about getting cleaner install results that only showed you things if you actually needed to read them.

I'm more concerned about the "tragedy of the commons" thing. This attempt was well-behaved (and has, by now, stopped). The last attempt was (relatively) well-behaved. The next is not guaranteed to be... and if it followed after this one became entrenched, may prove impervious.
I agree. Which is why I think we should be exploring what is considered acceptable/well behaved, provide an explicit way for well behaved citizens to do it, and have guard rails in place to make sure packages can't misbehave.
