> Presumably many customers pay with a debit/credit card already so there's some PII on file?

Yes. But I think most of the zero logs providers will remove the identifiable payments details after a certain about of time. e.g. Mullvad have a specific policy relating to what is stored and retention time (I am not affiliated with Mullvad, I just use their service).

Or you can use Tor. I will just use a VPN that lets me pay with Monero or some other crypto currency. None of this will stop savvy people.
