Oh the problem definitely exists. And it shows in the fact that only more sophisticated teams use VPN.
And when they have to use VPN, too many teams use OpenVPN because it's seemingly the easiest to use. Also there are scripts like the amazing Algo that make it easier to run your own VPN server.
But this has historically been a totally unsolved problem from the perspective of usability.
I look at it as the difference between PGP and keybase. PGP was always too complex to use, and that's a bad security design. Keybase is a lot easier to use (and Signal even easier).
Wireguard is like that. Although I haven't used it yet, the configurations seem like "really? that's it? there's got to be more to it"
