      I use it when I’m staying at hotels and want to use their WiFi, or any other public WiFi, to protect my private data. Google probably has it anyway but there’s no need to share it with another unknown entity.

      Most home users of VPNs (as opposed to business users) do so to bypass content restrictions, and don’t give a rat’s arse about the privacy. From their perspective, Google’s offering was probably great.
