I Hate Mobile Apps With Ads

It's getting harder to find good apps these days that don't have any ads.
The other day I decided I wanted to play Roulette on my Amazon Kindle, so I went to the Kindle App Store and did a search. Unfortunately, I had a hard time finding one I liked, because most of the Apps were free, and I HATE free apps for one reason... they all have distracting ads.
Why is it so hard finding Apps without ads? When Apple introduced the concept of Mobile Apps, most of the Apps cost about $1, and none of them had ads. Eventually, developers realized they can make more money in ads than they could by selling Apps, so they focused more on free Apps than paid Apps. That's a shame, because I they're obnoxious and distracting.
Speaking of ads, another thing I hate is the way Amazon sells their Kindles with "Special Offers", which feature targeted ads right on the lock screen, so you see them whenever you pick them up. Thankfully, they let you pay a one-time price to turn off the ads. I did that a few years ago and since it's linked to my Amazon account, all my Kindles have nice clean lock screens.
