I've only used my work VPN, so I just assumed commercial VPNs had similar mechanics. They don't lease IP addresses?

There's a tunnel from your computer to the VPN entrypoint, but the point of a VPN is to become part of another Network of computers that is Private and could thus not be reached otherwise. There's no private network of computers for these "VPN" services. They're just a proxy to the internet.
