Not necessarily. They still get money from selling user data. So they likely still care about losing users who use adblocking to at least some degree.

Google doesn't sell user data, they sell user eyeballs. There's no incentive for Google to sell user data since they're an ad company and the only people who would buy the data are competitors.
