why wouldn’t both methods be included?
I don’t see where anything I wrote could possibly be construed as saying using a VPN via your router should be recommended against. This thread is about PG’s requirements of VPN providers on macOS due to the kill switch implementation failures specific to ProtonVPN, and the person I was responding to proposed simply recommending that you set up the connection on your router as the sole option if you want a killswitch, which is both not technically necessary and unreasonable to expect of everyone who looks to PG for guidance.
