Changing the DNS blocks ads systemwide, but sometimes causes problems with certain apps/content. It’s easier to have an app to toggle on/off and set whitelists as you need.
Basically I’m saying: it’s absolutely right that ads are a scourge. None of us should have to put up with this bullshit.
This is an easy ad blocking solution on Android.

You don’t need an additional app to change DNS on Android, you can edit the “private DNS” setting and use a public ad blocking DNS server.
…And like I ssid in my original comment: this has not ever actually worked to block ads. 🤦♂️
