So all minors in the UK have their own banking account and credit card? You know, to pay for the VPN.

Why would they need any of that when free to use VPNs exist?
Why do you think free to use VPNs exist when both servers and bandwidth costs money?
Fact is that they do exist. Whether that meshes with your personal beliefs about economics seems beside the point.
They exist because they are either proxying networks that resell residential IPs (aka your internet connection) ...or because they are harvesting credentials.

The former will now make less sense as a business model, since UK isn't a good location to proxy traffic through anymore.
