Most people who pay for prime, do so for the reduced shipping costs Prime video is just an add-on.

Putting ads on the video generates extra income without necessarily losing subscribers. So putting ads in the videos creates a new revenue stream with close to zero downside for them. It's an MBA's wetdream.
