Just some ideas what I assume they achieve by this:

• By pressing it you have to divert your attention towards the ad, even if it is just for a short time.

• You might unintentionally signal your prefences by which could be used for profile enrichment

• You also provide information, that you are still actively at the device an watching (I assume ad providers have more interest on having more/longer ads on content that is actively watched)
