VPN ads do list actual use cases. The most popular one I've heard is geolocation-based pricing on airline tickets.

(I still don't really know what people are actually using VPNs for.)

I don't use traditional VPNs for this, but I use tailscale with an exit node back at my house to avoid Netflix complaining about my location changing.

For instance, VPNs are popular in Russia, people use them to access YouTube, Instagram and other platforms banned by the regime.
