my grocer down the road is a nice fella and has tasty vegetables from sustainable sources, but he might get bought up by a big supermarket chain, so I'm not going to buy from him

your grocer does not have the ability to retroactively change the food you've bought from them.

A VPN provider can "accidentally" enable logging prior to the sale

  • if you trust them now with not logging and selling your data, you should trust them not doing anything to screw you over, and giving you sufficient warnings before a sale happens so you can re-evalute that trust. if you don't trust a provider, you shouldn't use them. "i don't trust any VPN providers" is a reasonable position, but your argument saying "all VPNs will end up selling data" is still flawed.
