You have now shifted your trust from your VPN provider to certificate authorities.

And, I guess, just ignore anything thats not https.

Or just be okay if your hotel blocks certain ports or destinations, which I've had happen multiple times.

Don't you have to trust the CAs in any case?

There are 168 root certificates in macOS and 255 in Windows.
My point was that you have to trust them in any case, even with a VPN. The number of certificates is irrelevant.
