There is one reason- VPN traffic, vs tor traffic monitoring. Tor traffic stands out and that has been used to nab people famously, like that bomb hoax incident. Which suggests cloaking tor with a solid VPN is the way to go. Yes, bridges may be an option as well, but I don't know that their ease of use is where it should be for everyone wanting to be hidden

IIRC they used NetFlow data to find the only Tor user. So as long as your VPN doesn't use a different exit than entry IP it's as easy to find you as the Tor user.
