Problem #1: they are closed source. Good luck verifying their security.

Problem #2: it is in the best interest of nation states to be able to break the VPNs and it's in the best interest of large vendors to quietly cooperate with the government.

If you are worried about your secrets being revealed to a nation state, then chances are you shouldn’t be putting any of them over the public internet - VPN or not.

There is a large amounts of secrets that fall between the two extremes 'not very secret at all' and 'should never be spoken of or touch a digital device'.

Corporate espionage backed by nation state actors is a real thing, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to secure yourself against it while running a normal business.

That's a big strawman.
