I use a VPN all the time on my laptop because I'm frequently on public wifi at coffee shops. That alone makes a VPN worthwhile. The logic of "you can't 100% trust them so its useless" seems really extreme and detrimental. Yeah it won't stop a determined government agency... but unless you're Edward Snowden what you probably should be more worried about is some sketchy hacker listening in on wifi traffic, which VPNs are super useful for.
