I agree, I am not sure why you would use PIA. From their TOS:

Possibly because PIA is a US company and therefore someone in Europe does not care?
For someone in, say, Germany a German VPN would be way more worrisome because of the same jurisdiction.
A simple Google search also reveals various user complaints that PIA apparently uses a Ruby (!) script to constantly write an extensive local log of all web activities, and the option is switched on by default. That's not inspiring my confidence. Their pricing is great, though.
The problem I have with VPNs in general is that quite a sizable number of them look as if they had been set up by dubious entities solely to collect data on their customers. Especially the ones with competitive pricing.
I would rather trust some of the more expensive ones from e.g. Sweden.
