much anonymity provided by VPNs is through how many people use their exit nodes, “disguising” your traffic among others. also if you hosted your own VPN it would be trivial for one to find its host from an ASN, and from there subpoena your billing information

Sure but I’m not necessarily trying to hide my name from the law. And you dont get much disguise when your vpn company is compromised and logging it.
