Well, Microsoft's shown recently that they don't see one-off revenue from software sales as their main income stream any more. These days it's all about recurring subscriptions and data-mining; witness their unseemly push to get customers onto SaaS and their stuffing of adverts and telemetry into consumer Windows. Oh, and the fact that you can now pretty much run Windows forever without activation - with minimal restrictions - could also show that the real value of the OS for Microsoft now lies in what they can mine from ongoing users.
So I personally would approach this new VPN in the same way I'd view an offer of a "free" seminar from a time-share or MLM company. Run away if you have any sense. That old saying about "if you're not paying for something, then YOU are the product"...
