they would mostly be losing the ad blocking viewers though, right?
They can’t afford to do anything that would lose them a large slice of viewers. Same reason websites still support IE.

Yes, but the point their are trying to make is to gain the adblocking users, not lose them. They need more people to watch the ads, not less people to watch YT.

i imagine many of them are addicted to youtube and would watch ads

Not sure about that, but it would be interesting to have some real number and not the ones from Google or the adblockers

It’s funny you mention that since YouTube led the web in dropping support for IE 6: blog.chriszacharias.com/a-conspiracy-to-kill-ie6
That kind of thing isn’t quite in their DNA anymore, but you never know.
