I barely know how any of this works, but couldn't Google just decide to not send video content on YouTube until X number of seconds have elapsed, so having ad blockers would block ad content, but not make it faster to see the video?

Still won't help, I would gladly wait 60s to avoid having scams and car salesmen shout at me for 10s.

They probably could, but I think the risk of directly affecting the normal user experience is too high. That would for example mean that preloading videos will be trickier, and that there is a high chance that there will be a 3 seconds of silence between the ad and the content.
