They already fucking do.
They just pretend pre-roll trailers aren't ads.
(Not trying to defend/excuse fking Amazon lol) They're easy to skip, though. I imagine these will not be skippable.
Also, people have paid to have Plex play them trailers for years, as it gives a cinematic experience.
It's not for me, an ad's an ad.
As far as I'm concerned skippable ads are the same thing as any other ad. I use auto play for a reason and it's because I don't want to fuck with the remote every episode.
If anything they are worse because they make you become aware enough of the ad to make the connection to physically push a button skip it. When HBO Minimum Quality added them I dropped it. When Paramount (We can't build a functional app) + and Disney Pus (Not a typo) added them I finally built a media server and rejoined the high seas after 20 years. I'll never go back.
