No such luck. The Hulu no-ad tier still has ads for a select few shoes.

That's due to contract reasons. Hulu keeps a list of shows they are required to show ads on:

Contracts the wrote themselves for themselves. Disney owns Hulu and ABC and ABC owns Grey’s Anatomy.

They aren't being forced to show ads. They chose too.

Yeah, that’s really weird because my spouse and I watched a few seasons of it ad-free on Netflix. I think they had something like 16 seasons available, all ad-free. It seems really odd that the company that produced it couldn’t make it also ad-free.

Grey's might have had a contract with an advertiser or other promotional partner that required them to show certain ads during the show.

Shonda Rimes owns Grey's. Take it up with her.

She created it, but doesn't own it. She sold the rights away to ABC/Disney/Hulu
