Only if in your mind "VPN" equals "anonymity and privacy" (which it shouldn't).
What should a VPN be for if not privacy?
Never in a million years would I trust google as my VPN provider. 1) No customer support 2) it will probably be cancelled in 18 months 3) they already spy on me enough with search, android, google keyboard, gmail
So, no customer support for non-paying customers, but I don't think that applies here.

Is there really an issue if it gets cancelled? You can just get a new VPN. It’s not like other google products where you’re going to lose data or have to rebuild systems.
It's still a pain setting up a new one and learning its quirks. If there was a compelling reason otherwise, might be worth it. Can't think of any upside myself, even the price isn't good.
The price is zero if you are already on that Google One tier, which is pretty good.
Whether its good if you aren't depends on not just the VPN service itself, but how much you value the other things provided by Google One.
I like the honesty here. Oftentimes you learn more about someone's intention by paying attention to the omissions.

"Google will never use the VPN connection to track, log, or sell your browsing activity¹" "1. Some minimum logging is performed to ensure quality of service, but your network traffic is never logged and your IP is not associated to your activity." Even with that fairly well spelled out promise, I trust google about as much as I trust $RANDO_VPN, so... hardly at all?
> your IP is not associated to your activity Does this mean your incoming IP, or your outgoing IP? And if payment info or Google identity is associated with your activity, why would they need to bother associating an IP to your activity?
