Because if you use HTTP over VPN, then you really have to trust your VPN provider. Why should you do that?

You can be your own vpn provider if thats a big concern.

Your isp knows you visited a certain domain with https. That's a concern.

You just shift the trust around. Now I have to trust the hoster, e.g. OVH instead of my local ISP. Really the best thing you can do is end-to-end encryption, don't send plaintext over the internet.

How about DNS over HTTPS?
