IIRC many years ago when there were only 4 channels and it was muted the BBC could advertise for its revenue the answer was "There isn't enough advertising revenue". Now look at the amount of channels and the advertising revenue is still there.
I wouldn't object to limited advertising on the BBC, as long as it was between programmes (rather than interrupting them) and as long as there was an advertisement free subscription streaming service with a free option containing ads.

Nothing much to object to there, in my book.
