Yeah, that's fair — I was thinking about a case of the french(?) feds getting the IP address of a left wing activist from protonmail and tracking them down based on that, but I suppose depending on the VPN that might just add one extra layer the feds have to go through to find you.
I wouldn't trust VPNs for much more than avoiding copyright strikes from your ISP but I'm willing to be corrected
