Hyperbole.

This merely acts as a warning. Notice the buttons at the bottom to disable the blocking temporarily or permanently.

Sure, and a number of anti-viruses allow you to ignore their warnings, but I'd bet the majority of users will trust their software to not steer them wrong

I don't use an ad blocker to be warned about unethical websites, I use it to block ads.

Then perhaps you should try a different ad blocker.

uBlock doesn't call itself an ad blocker, but a blocker. Also, checking the default block lists and/or removing some is the first thing I do after installing a new one. If that sounds like to much work, stick with the defaults and click the humongous "disable blocking permanently" button. Not sure what all the fuss is about.
