I suspect the $20 to get rid of ads on the Kindles has more to do with hoping people will let them advertise than any thought of discount or surcharge. They want to advertise and being able to do so probably makes them more than $20 over the life of the device. But they know some people don't like it so they give us a way to opt out.
I don't like ads and I'm happy to pay the $20 to get rid of them. I also have a Premium Youtube account so I don't have to put up with ads on Youtube. That's well worth the $10 a month I pay.
For what it's worth I haven't had a TV most of my life because I don't like ads. I do like TV and I watch shows and movies on Youtube, Amazon and Netflix and get no ads. If they had ads I'd cancel them.
