Brother, the general population in Arkansas is not even smart enough to change their Wi-Fi password, let alone use a VPN.

For some, but I doubt it for many. Average users don't even know what VPN is.

With the amount of ads I see for things like NordVPN or PIA openly advertising bypassing geo blocking I doubt many people haven't heard of them. (Those who haven't will soon hear about them from friends)
