We use a commercial VPN at our company because it provides a mechanism for traffic encryption for employees who might be connecting from insecure networks. Sure most sites use HTTPS but there is still some unencrypted traffic like CDN or similar.
It’s not a cure all or some privacy guarantee, it’s just that for us, the risk of our employees browser history being stolen by that VPN for some nefarious purpose is just less than the risk of information leaking via insecure network.
