According to the page you told me to read, it means
"If your app doesnâ(TM)t offer much functionality or content, or only applies to a small niche market, it may not be approved."
That's actually pretty useful information, if you want to design something targeted at a relatively small community, perhaps steer clear of Apple.
It isn't not an entirely unreasonably way to discuss the opposite.
It's not dumb if it costs you nothing and influences your victim as you desire.
Without a TPM or asking questions about the ads that the user has seen, ad-blocker blockers are ultimately fallible.
