If someone wants to use a VPN then they clearly care about privacy, which means they definitely know about Google's business practices. In conclusion, nobody is gonna be stupid enough to use this.

VPNs can be a tool for privacy but 99% of the time someone is tricked into thinking it's antivirus by a nordvpn ad

VPN is rarely used as a privacy tool first, but rather a proxy to fool websites and access blocked resources.

I use it all the time. Not everyone is paranoid with matching tin foil hats.

Just like Gmail and Docs and Keep and Search. Nobody puts any moderately private data in those.
