As there will not be any linear to in your future world, companies will have to advertise on streaming - get used to it

Like them or not ads keep costs down, so not to have them means paying more!
Yes, well I and many others would rather pay more than have the things we watch ruined by advertisements that we have no choice but to view.

I wouldn’t object to a relevant, static, side bar advert alongside my menu on Netflix or Prime but I wouldn’t be at all happy with any commercials playing before or during my programme.
I don't mind them on commercial TV simply because I can fast forward through them. You can't do that with the streamers.

Like you, I would not object if ads were introduced only on the menus.

And that's fine, provided there is a non-advert subscription option.
