The downside is that some services, such as video streaming, block access from VPNs.

That's where VPN obfuscation is the play, imo. A lot of people nowadays are leaving streaming platforms or watch YT on smart TVs, so it does have a place. You can always exclude a device from the VPN coverage too.

Obfuscation only protects you from your own ISP messing with VPN connections. Streaming services (etc.) can't see what protocol you're using between yourself and the VPN in any case, they just see the VPN's exit IP address. Which is likely on their list of known VPN IPs.
