Then google should have done a better job vetting the ads so they don't have malicious redirects or malware so that users wouldn't feel the need to run adblocks to be safe.

In fact, Google as the most pervasive advertiser should probably have done that for all ads. I imagine if they weren't so terrible, ad-blocks wouldn't be so prevalent.
