Correct. It's even more complicated than just trusting a "no logs" policy. You have to also trust that noone with hardware access (rogue VPN company employees, datacenter people, law enforcement and intelligence services) intercepts your traffic or messes with the servers, and that the servers themselves don't get hacked due to some vulnerabilities. Recall how NordVPN recently got hacked because datacenter operator left vulnerable remote management software exposed. Tor might have its vulnerabilities as well, like all software. Not to forget that pretty much anyone can run an entry guard today and at least associate your IP with usage of Tor..
