There are far more uses for a VPN. For instance if I want to access my NAS while outside my home.

Sure, but that's not generally a thing the commercial VPNs offer, and I thought we were talking about commercial VPNs

But some VPNs do provide you a little protection on things you might click on. Ublock and not being a dummy will get you around most of that use but for general users it is more safe.

Sure, but that's not VPN action, it's routing or filtering

Sure but when I'm not on my network a VPN doing that is good.
