    doesn’t most vpn user want to get rid of tracking and spying ? It would makes no sense for them to use Google vpn.

      That’s just your bubble. Most VPN users just want to circumvent geo restrictions.

      Besides that, the general VPN “propaganda” is that it encrypts your traffic and no-one can see it. The average user gets baited by that and doesn’t care to look further into it.

      The only real use for Google’s VPN was as an extra layer of security when connected to an untrusted network or open WiFi.

      It makes just as much sense as most popular vpns. The main difference is you know you don’t trust Google. Do you think something like nordvpn is any different? There’s no guarantee for what they’re doing either.
