don't they break Google's TOS by circumventing YouTube access control?

They do. And blocking ads in ad based services also violates the play store ToS.. No idea how GreyJey got passed Google's censors.

so I thought


therefore my original question, no idea why so many people downvoted it

People probably took that as a passive aggressive attack against the app and a show of support for Google/YouTube's ad blocking policies. Try not to take it personally, people round here and back on Reddit always have their hackles permanently raised when it comes to issues like these.
