This is interesting because for some people, it would be a feature to be operating with, say, a US VPN tunnel that is “on paper” in the Bahamas. Better latency. For instance, the average person downloading Torrents.

Of course, for the most high-stakes stuff if you were worried about some kind of major state level actors or something, you want to keep a very tight control over where your actual traffic is physically transiting. So it seems only proper that they disclose these discrepancies to customers.

Even still, I suspect encryption and proper lack of logs provides sufficient cover for most people for most actually likely threats.
