What other system function were they supposed to appear on? My alarm clock? Calculator?

Guys, HTC themselves didn't put ads on the keyboard. The keyboard developers who they partnered with, TouchPal, did - likely without putting the idea to HTC first.

Due to an error

Haha, an error in judgement.
