In some cases, that is true, but not all, and I suggest not even most. In many cases, I think people are just as culpable for being unwilling to use Whonix.

https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh can be pretty decent, too.

Aside, it's a shame that it's not common practice to provide resource gleanings in the form of such access to random others from one's VPS. An easily reproduced NixOS environment in VM with locked down containers proxying through a local tor instance(s) would scale up alright and significantly limit risks for the donor. I find very few people take up the offer to even use another's VPS though.
