I think the biggest risk a random user faces is when a single entity is storing their connection history and then sells it (or it gets leaked, or demanded by law enforcement).

Some rando at a coffee shop sniffing my traffic will get a tiny portion of my online life, but my ISP or a few other large firms can build a much bigger privacy-destroying picture of my behavior.

My concern with a large VPN company is that there is now a single place where all my traffic can be gathered, trivially.

As an aside, I use Striesand - https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand - to create my own VPN. I generally create a new one every week or so with a simple script and I tend to rotate hosting providers fairly regularly. It's definitely not completely secure, but it's very fast, very cheap and works well for all my devices.

Interesting. I'd be interested in hearing more about how you did that. Algo seems to require a human in the loop to generate and insert an API token.
