The ads are added in the app. If you cast, the Chromecast can’t add apps (yet) so they’d have to make ad streams instead, and switch between the streams show-ad-show which would take several seconds of loading screen each way and so on. Which is a level of fuckery even they shied away from.
TLDR they can’t (easily) show ads during casting.
