Ofcourse - VPN services are a complete clusterfuck and not to be trusted. They do not offer anonymity or a magic protection against adversaries and data theft.
However, it is way worse than I assumed. For instance, NordVPN pays competitor employees visits in their personal address, threatens and extorts them. They are owned by a data mining company - and much, much more.
This is sick. Better steer clear of VPN services.
