Leaving the complexity of attempting to circumvent the great firewall aside, VPN isn't free. Not many are willing to drop £60+/year just to avoid identifying yourself on PH. Easier to find a website that doesn't enforce it.
In the UK case, TOR seems to happily get around these restrictions for free (I gave it a quick check yesterday). I'd imagine that there might be some kind of crackdown on TOR exit nodes in the future though
People in the UK generally believe that the only people who use Tor are those looking for child pornography, even though it's an anti-censorship tool.
I'd be careful if I were you. The police could use that as an excuse to raid you.
The police aren’t going to raid you for using Tor any more than they would for you using a VPN.
Tor is not an ideal browsing experience.
nor is submitting your ID to a third party agency to allow you to go to a website

Yes it is, well, the shady ones that make you part of a botnet are. Those are the ones people are going to predominantly use.
