Does malicious mean interfering with Google's business model, or does it include intrusive advertising?

Malicious here means "most people who aren't trying to argue semantics or otherwise be smartasses about it would consider it malware". That's why the example I gave is a semi-popular software the allows watching YouTube without ads without a premium subscription, i.e. at least in the case I observed, I don't believe this was weaponized against apps that interfere with their business model.
As for "intrusive advertising is malicious", see the second part of the first sentence.
