They're falling
Many sites are finding ways of circumvent them - from turning their content into Ads (therefore making the AdBlock display a blank page to you), to resorting to AdBlock-Blockers such as BlockAdblock.
The lists aren't catching up, much less the anti-blocker lists.
Have they won?
No, they will use digital restrictions management (i.e Google Widevine WebDRM) for that. Only secondarily as a technical measure, what is more important is that it will make adblockers illegal under the DMCA, forcing Mozilla to remove it from their store which in turn remove them from the consumers thanks to forced WebExtension signing.
Care to give an example website (or a few) ? I'm just using uMatrix and not really seeing any ads.
Is that your concern? A company that has been lost since ever now?
Couple ones
syriancivilwarmap.com
pocketnow.com
Just fix the filter you are using so that it is no longer a false positive.
They load just fine for me.

Have you disabled inline Java? What's your browser? Did you wait a little?
Works with uMatrix and scripts turned on ONLY for syriancivilwarmap.com
Works with uMatrix and javascript disabled
Is there an example of a website that actually "turns their content into ads" ? That would be clever. I've only seen it once, on a football stream - where the same script that loaded the stream also loaded the ads.

I'll try to remember them and post here.
