The reason for why they show this purple message instead of actual ads is probably due to legal issues since they might not be allowed to stream ads on third party websites without the owners consent or don’t want to before vetting those third party sites for advertiser friendliness (this is just a wild guess I am no legal expert). As we might have all noticed by now, twitch has (again) stepped up their game in their crusade against ad blockers and now shows a white on purple message to all viewers watching streams on embedded players when ads are supposed to be shown, essentially bricking all ad blockers that use this method which is probably all of them at least from what I’ve seen so far.
