Everything in this regard is based on trust. IVPN f.e. asks pretty big amount of money for their service so there is no reason to sell/share this data to someone. Also, they do everything they can to prevent this behavior (countries with good laws, open source, audited, no marketing bullshit, affiliate links). So I heavily trust them. There is no single reason to trust my ISP though. Good resource for VPN comparison.
Why do you trust some random VPN provider in a different country more than your local ISP?
Because my ISP is in a country where they can legally sell my data. My VPN is not.
And my VPN provider doesn’t know who I am.
Because ISP’s are nearly always garbage connected directly with government. So hell no, Mullvad, IVPN, Proton are way ahead local ISP’s.
How do you know? You don’t control either the ISP or the VPN company

But you can’t trust them. You aren’t the only running their machines.
Admittedly your not running the ISP’s machines either but VPN’s cost money. It seems simpler to use encrypted DNS and https
That’s what I’m saying
