They are. They provide you with a service for your data. It's called YouTube. And if they don't have a place to show you ads, the data is useless because no one will use it. It's a closed loop.

And even if you don't agree with it, it's still a company selling a service and it can do whatever it wants to earn money from it. There's nothing unethical about that.
