The only VPN can be trusted is one on your own server.
If you want to hide your IP on the Internet, use tor. Or a VPN you trust (I don't know how anyone trusts any VPN though for this purpose). VPNs are useful to trick Geo gated content, I wouldn't trust them for protecting your privacy. So for me its tor or you are just fooling yourself

Yes. I used to wireguard to my VPS at data centre to tunnel past some dodgey hardware and my ISP both.
Hmm, how so?
Your ISP knows who you are and what IPs you visit. Depending on how you pay for your VPS, the provider would only know the IPs of websites you visit.
I agree the majority of benefits are not in the privacy department, but still I believe there are some.
A vps is not your own server. Whoever operates the hardware knows your ip address and all the addresses of the websites you visit
