"fall to temptation" implies they were legitimate actors in the first place.
Most VPNs are run by small and relatively non-transparent private companies. It would be trivial and in fact the obvious thing to do for law enforcement and similar agencies to setup VPN companies and advertise them to their targets.
ISPs are actually more transparent and their business model does not fundamentally relies on exploiting customer data.

Their customers give them money, and that should make their business sustainable without needing to spy on people. To be honest I trust Mullvad way more than I trust my ISP not to sell my DNS queries.

And yet they do, largely because many people _can't_ vote with their dollars. I can move which VPN provider I use. Also, VPN's are a big benefit on filtered wifi if that's something you have to deal with.
