That last line especially. I have the unlimited plan but more and more i’m getting sold additional stuff for ‘only’ $$$ extra.

They were rated highly among my options when I was choosing services last year, and I ended up not picking them because it felt like they really want to be Google, and that at any moment they will pull the rug out from under their customers in a “remove ‘Don’t be evil’ from the charter” move. These stories seem to suggest I was right.
And then the co-owner of the VPN I did choose funded far right politics in Germany. Whoops.

I mean, they’re all WireGuard. ProtonVPN is WireGuard. Mulvad VPN – what I assume you’re referencing — is WireGuard.
If you don’t like a given WireGuard VPN provider, then just switch to some other VPN provider that supports WireGuard and use that service instead.

That is not good advice. Most VPN companies are not security or privacy companies. In fact, most appear to be surveillance capitalism companies who should never be trusted, and are likely to be worse than no VPN at all.

Wireguard isn’t what matters. What matters is how much personal data the VPN company collects and how they handle that personal data. In Mullvad’s case, they don’t need any personal information to sign up (you just generate an account number and can then pay via cash/monero for anonymity), and they don’t get any personal information when you use the service either as their servers are RAM-only so they can’t log anything.
