But when my mechanic tells me that the grinding noise while braking means I need to have the brakes fixed doesn't excuse me from continuing to drive without fixing the brakes and it doesn't really magically get fixed by turning up the radio until the noise goes away. To further your comparison, devs would be the mechanics, and devs have been screaming that operating browsers without blockers is similar to not getting the squeaking noises fixed. Everyone just keeps turning up the volume until the underlying noise goes away.
