There are free VPNs that are subsidized by payers and are legit (though most are not). Calyx and Proton to name two.
Also Tor is free, and the most popular site on the darknet is Facebook, so I dont think you're informed about the nature of Tor traffic.
Also here, where a VPN or proxy is a "must" for using the internet normally, there are also some ran by charities. But yeah, the omnipresence of shady free VPNs is very concerning.
