I don't get the rant about VPNs. Many ISPs (especially in not so democratic countries) collect a lot of data, and might sell it or store it for access for the authorities.
Tor is great for privacy, but usability is poor, it's really slow. VPNs are a great middle ground to just route all your traffic through. And yes, there are better and not so good providers. Some of them take privacy very serious, others not so much (do your research which one to trust). Many users also don't care about privacy so much, they just want to circumvent censorship or geoblocking.
