Also many websites will block cloud services IPs. This can also happen with 3rd party providers but in my experience it’s much less common because some vpn providers will buy residential IPs.

It also can be nice to get a new IP more or less whenever you want by just connecting to a different, already setup server.

The only websites to block my AWS IP are streaming providers like Netflix.

I don't believe VPN providers are buying residential IPs. They use a p2p architecture and route traffic through their customers, usually without informing them. If I do use a commercial VPN service, I prefer to use the openVPN client rather than their proprietary client.
