It doesn’t have to bother you personally to be unfair. I don’t pay this amount of money on their games and consoles to be bombarded by ads. It’s not a “big” problem, but it is a problem. Some people don’t want to see so many ads, to be tempted to buy stuff all the time or have a bloated home screen.
Just because you don’t mind doesn’t mean everyone has to do so as well.

It kind of dampens and cheapens the experience of using the console. The PS+ tab and the PS Store tab are, essentially, full of ads already but at least they’re contained to the two left-most tabs on the home menu. Sure, you usually don’t stick around too long after selecting a game to play or a streaming service to watch something off, but I’d rather not see more ads than needed when the current system already works well as is.

Yeah. I get that. It makes sense, but I just don’t see it as some thing that really bothers me that much. I spent decades watching TV ads though, so, maybe I’m just more patient?

Sure, could be. I used to not be able to watch movies because I’d be used to TV ads forcing a break every now and then. Took me a while but I couldn’t go back to ad-less YouTube, for example

Oh I can’t either. Totally with ya there.
