Steamdb mentioned it’s not a recent ban :

Valve has created a dedicated page describing that in-game ads or ad-based revenue models are not allowed in Steam games.

This has been reported as a new policy, but this has been the case for at least 5 years as seen on the pricing page, there just wasn’t a separate page.
