my grocer down the road is a nice fella and has tasty vegetables from sustainable sources, but he might get bought up by a big supermarket chain, so I'm not going to buy from him

your grocer does not have the ability to retroactively change the food you've bought from them.
A VPN provider can "accidentally" enable logging prior to the sale

if you trust them now with not logging and selling your data, you should trust them not doing anything to screw you over, and giving you sufficient warnings before a sale happens so you can re-evalute that trust.
if you don't trust a provider, you shouldn't use them.
"i don't trust any VPN providers" is a reasonable position, but your argument saying "all VPNs will end up selling data" is still flawed.
