Windows as an OS has absolutely been showing ads for a long time. Ads for their own stuff for the most part, but those are still ads. They pop stuff up all over the place advocating for paid OneDrive plans or Office 365 or whatever.
Those aren't ads embedded in the OS. Those are ads because an app is installed. It's also fairly easy to uninstall them. Also, all over the place is a bit silly. It's like once via the notification system when you first install the OS.
