Maybe some people want to hide their web traffic from their ISP, but can't be bothered with setting up a real VPN. It seems pretty niche, though.
Perhaps there's a business use for this?
There was an Android-only data saver mode, but it was discontinued [1].

- lxgr 3y agoA "real" VPN is actually a pretty poor way to increase privacy when browsing the web. It essentially just swaps out the (often moderately trustworthy) ISP with an often even more dubious VPN provider. MASQUE (which iCloud Private Relay already uses, and Google could use too) can do significantly better. Of course, having a choice of more MASQUE providers than just Apple and Google is important.
