But people are usually funnelling all their traffic through a single point of failure anyway: Their ISP.
If your ISP is known to be bad, then it could be better to choose a good VPN service.

And you'd better hope its a good VPN service since now you're sending all your traffic through that single point instead

If you're doing something possibly illegal, you're probably far safer trusting your traffic to some company in a far-away country than your own local ISP. Think about living in China, for instance: the local ISP obviously can't be trusted, but some company in Norway isn't going to care that you're posting anti-CCP stuff on social networks, and is far beyond the reach of China's law enforcement. (Of course, if VPN usage itself is illegal in your country, that could cause you problems regardless.)
