They already do that. Many programs and movies have product placement
specialists who inundate us with their brand of product.

I've had some that were so egregious that I made an ISO, edited the
menus and disposed of the excess content. A bit of a PIA, but I had two
that I couldn't even skip past the commercials at all. That was a bigger
PIA.
Nearly put me off from buying DVD's for a bit. As my current collection
is well over 1000, obviously the habit resumed.
Give them time, we'll end up with commercials playing on our toilet paper.
That's when I switch to a bidet with dryer.
