"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" - or laziness/incompetence/lack of care in this case.
This happens regularly even on sites with no ads.
You give these people far too much credit.
No that was true 10-20 years ago, prior to the online advertising systems becoming so refined. They used to just send an ad with a general size, horizontal, vertical, etc.
It's too common and stick website designs take advertising sizes and loading into account now, so despite constant complaints now it has to be intentional.
