The Play Store maintains your list of purchases. The dev would have had to build a new APK just for you with ads disabled.

On top of that, the APK wouldn't be tied to you, so you could distribute it to others, possibly preventing sales. I'm sure you wouldn't do that, but others might.

So yeah, it's possible. But it's reasonable for the dev to say no.
