VPNs just shift trust from the service provider to the VPN provider, and I don't have much reason to do so for most of my uses. NordVPN or Surfshark are way scummier than a harmless blog or HN, for example, and have more financial and legal incentives to track me

Of course any privacy measure protects criminals of all sorts, that doesn't mean it's not worth having

Hope you never lock the bathroom door or close the curtains in your house. Imagine what you might be doing in there!

This is completely missing the point of why one needs privacy. Lack of it harms journalism and activism, making the government too powerful and not accountable. If only activists and journalists will try to have the privacy, it will be much easier to target them. Everyone should have privacy to protect them. It’s sort of like freedom of speech is necessary not just for journalists, but for everyone, even if you have nothing to say.
