Are you sure they aren't just giving you a politically correct answer?

In my estimation the main reason people use VPNs is for pr*n and piracy and they may not want to just flat out admit it.

I get the piracy part, but why would someone want/need VPN for pr0n? That's not a gotcha or snark, I don't understand why folks would "need" vpn for that (assuming it's not* non-consensual, which includes hidden cameras and/or animals or children -- neither of whom can actually provide meaningful consent) as long as it's legal.

Pornhub is blocked in 21 U.S. states (including Texas and Florida) and heavily crippled in the UK.

Fair enough. And likely a host of other sites too, I guess.
