Yeah, because everyone is asking for that. They will force ads into everything they can, because Google is an Ad company.

Will this really remove the ads? From your link:

In Apps only mode, you don't get personalized recommendations on your home screen. You’ll find a list of installed apps that you can open to find something to watch. You'll also find sponsored content and teasers for popular movies and shows.

There's still a single banner at the top, but it's not a giant scroll of ads, and you only have to click down once to get to the apps, instead of scrolling past a whole page of "suggestions"

Yes, It turns the home screen to a grid of app icons and nothing more.
