No, this just keeps you private from all private sector actors and friends and spouses Lets children and other unbanked pay for vpns as they don’t have banking access, they can earn some crypto from someone and bridge that to monero Tor if you don’t want any private sector logging + additional access to the onion internet A TorOS if you want more hardened access
Unbanked?
Notbanked
Sansbanked
So there is bi-directional access to and from the broader crypto ecosystem without centralized exchanges and without the selectively scamming shapeshift-style sites, and for the pros: without OTC desks either.

And they use Monero instead? (I am actually curious; who are these people who do not have a bank account but use Monero?)
they can use Monero as well, not instead. As there are lots of other interchangeable options for non-banked or unhosted crypto payments and commerce.

to me, your question is similar to asking "who are these people that use their cell phone in a subway tunnel" after cellular service was extended underground. the similarity being that the answer is "I don't know" and "you're not going to get a dissertation or a source about it, people just use whats available" and "who cares". What I wrote earlier is just a list of what happens when the expanded availability is there.
As a Mullvad fan this makes me very nervous. If they begin being used by, and taking payment from criminals it's going to bring a lot of extra heat their way.

I would say VPN and monero are the digital equivalent to a balaklava and cash. Did you ever use any of those in "real life", or only when committing crimes?

Like Tor, I hear that Signal is also a great choice for terrorists and extremists as well according to some testimonials from them. The road to hell is paved with good intensions.
