What should we require of VPN providers on macOS?

lyricism:

These can’t both be true? Unless you mean you weren’t implying it because you were stating it explicitly?

They are two different statements. I wasn’t implying that you are saying “using a VPN via your router should be recommended against ” but your question does seem to frame router-level VPN and macOS host-level VPN as mutually competing choices. So I was asking for clarification, basically.

lyricism:

I don’t understand how you could construe me as pitting the two against each other?

I am sorry you don’t see why the phrasing of your question could be construed as setting up a direct comparison between the two. Anyway it seems like were at an impasse here so I won’t continue on with this.
