No, a VPN replaces an ISP in most threat models (by shifting who can see your traffic). For some people, this is a good trade (ex. me: my ISP has straight-up admitted to analyzing people's traffic for marketing info).

ISP modifying DNS responses, or at the least potentially logging them. A good reason to use DoH/DoT.

ISP logging traffic anyway in UK in order to comply with, say, Snoopers charter.

ISP providing out-of-date router hardware with unpatched firmware that most people connect directly to their WiFI networks instead of isolating.
