This is a *great* idea.
How does one turn on this "native adblocker feature" in Windows?

You download a hosts (ad blacklist) file and copy it into
c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

That requires the advertising servers to remain static. They can
change IP/domain names anytime they like, rendering the previous
entries null and void. The hosts file was never actually intended for
the way in which you suggest using it...Despite it working to a point
for that purpose. It's the wrong tool for the job.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a browser addon that can
download and extract from YouTube vids.

There's no value to an addon when all that is needed is a single
command:
youtube-dl.exe -f 18 {URL}

Command line downloading is inefficient if you want to download
multiple vids or extract multiple mp3s at a time.

It depends entirely on the command line and the tool you're using as
well as the site in which you're pulling the material from. One size
doesn't fit all.
