What a myopic viewpoint. ISP's can and do sell customer data: www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/03/28/congress-clears-way-for-isps-to-sell-browsing-history.html It's doesn't take a logical leap to infer that a company whose entire purpose and business model is to provide anonymization as a service is less likely to sell out its own customers than the ISP's. Yes VPN's can log despite claiming they don't. But the well known ones are highly incentivized to do as they claim because lying would destroy trust and would ultimately destroy their business. Governments are also more likely to target giant national ISP's than some VPN provider whose servers are in some very liberal and consumer leaning countries outside the US. Also securing your own VPS on the internet and managing it without getting pwned is well outside the expertise of most people and is probably not recommended.
