#3Shallot donor means annual donations in excess of $100k USD. From the Tor website[0], it appears Mullvad is the only donor in excess of $49k USD annually (and possibly the only donor above $10001 USD).

Isn’t that just how VPNs work / a typical risk with VPNs?

Given that they have literally switched their nodes to be diskless and released lots of their work to strongly disable logging in systems, that may be acceptable for most users.
The risk model determines your behavior.

What do you mean by transparent? If you mean that a VPN can see you are using Tor and when, sure, but I'm not aware of circumstances where that would matter.

Almost any proxy configuration could be useful in a specific scenario. It's almost always a tradeoff.
For example, you could trade off your ISP knowing that you connected to Tor for your ISP knowing that you connected to mullvad and mullvad knowing that you connected to Tor.
Who do you trust with that metadata more?
