I agree with this completely. However, in this particular instance, I could make an argument for using – or at least subscribing to – Mozilla VPN simply as a method of supporting the organization. It's vital that Mozilla maintains a strong engineering force counteracting monopolies who push loss-leading products to capture markets like web browsing and email. You don't have to even use it, but every dollar of revenue that Mozilla can attribute to their privacy products and services means one less dollar is needed from their hostage deal with Google.
