Tor is good for max privacy, but it's not good for performance. You can use a regular VPN on your devices all day for system-wide protection, and never know it's running. You can listen to music, stream video, do whatever, and it just works. You can't do that with Tor. It simply doesn't have the bandwidth. And lots of websites and services won't work with it unless you play all sorts of games with your exit nodes. So, they each have their uses. And you can use them in tandem so that most of your system runs through the VPN while select apps and a dedicated browser run through Tor.
