When you want to access a website, the server will ask your browser "Is the user's environment good for me to show my website?" and will only provide you the website if your browser agrees. What this essentially means is that ad blocking or any other scripting on your side could make your browser say "No, there's some fuckery going on" and you would no longer be served the page.

Is this why people don’t like google AMP links? Because the AMP links can prevent adblockers from working

AMP links serve other people's content from google's servers meaning you never leave their domain.
