I mean a properly configured VPN can do a lot more Then hide you from your ISP

  Like what? Now you’re just using their ISP.

    Some of us have really crappy ISPs (that also happen to be monopolists) that do things like HTTPS MITM (when they try to force you to install their root CA certificate and HTTPS simply doesn't work unless you do it), block DNS requests unless you use their DNS servers, or store all your traffic (this is being done in Russia, but it's close enough). I very much prefer to cover the precise details of my communications from my ISP and 'outsource' that stuff to Europe.

      I hope you go for a spying incompetent country in Europe :). Especially one which is not partnered with the US .. like the UK and others.

    Most allow you to chose where the VPN exit is located, so you can have traffic originating in another country.

      This is a nice feature and paying for it is a perfectly sane thing to do if you need the utility. It's not exactly privacy, though.
