But VPNs are sold as the solution for when you are on an untrusted network, like at Starbucks.

But, because of this someone can have a Pineapple with a Starbucks SSID, push option 121 and capture a WHOLE bunch of traffic, even though the person using it has configured NordVPN on their iPhone with the killswitch on.

My VPN is for my tunnel out of my home network, not for remote networks. This is definitely a major issue if mitigations aren't implemented, but it's not relevant to all use cases for VPNs.
