I just think VPNs' time has come and gone.
VPN's have another use entirely, which is linking LAN segments over the internet to create a private WAN.
Yes, of course, those will remain and I use those across routers and concentrators, but the personal VPNs aren't necessary.
I'm just guessing here, but you live in a country that doesn't (or isn't trying to introduce) mandatory censorship and/or data retention. Right?
Those of us in the antipodes have a whole different reason for wanting VPN connections to such insecure points as "shared hosting" or VPS systems.
