Can somebody explain to me what the point of this is? You cannot pirate, since google certainly cooperates with legal entities, you cannot avoid tracking, well, because google.

So I am really interested in an answer here: Is there any beneficial use case for this?

They say it's security? How is this more secure than regular HTTPS? What do I gain by paying for this?

Some people who use "pay for VPN" do this to protect their browsing privacy against "the first mile" (read: your ISP or sloppy free WiFi).

Security is a very, very broad brush.
