I use adblock, but the issue is that not everyone can.
Some people use browsers that don't have a good blocking addon (probably mainly various mobile ones), some people use things like school or shared computers where they do not have permission to download things to the computer, some use multiple devices which means they have to do a lot of extra work to make sure they have everything blocked on all devices, and so on.
Plus, with things like FR, there are some things that can't be blocked. I have the spider items icons and familiars blocked, but I can't block coliseum enemies. I cannot block spider apparel should we get it. If we get a spider gene (orb/weaver? sort of makes me nervous, not so much the actual design but just the names :P) that makes it look like the dragon has spiders all over it or adds extra legs or something, I can't block that.
Having the blocking be FR side rather than Player side means that all those go away, and makes it so everyone can use it, even if they can't use third party software.
