They'll spy on you so long as there is a legal firm or so that is complaining about your pirating habits.

There's nothing stopping VPN provider from doing the same

Yes there is. It's called, relying on a trustworthy VPN provider. If you rely on a bad one, like one that has to abide by an eyes system from it's government, then yeah they're going to spy on you.

Only someone like you who does not understand VPNs would say something as shallow as what you said.
