I can't find good statistics on the age distribution of App Store users, but I think we can assume the majority are adults.
From this I'm inferring that the majority of UK internet users (regardless of age) are picking privacy over compliance.
Whatever happens, VPNs will be under significant legal and political pressure going forwards.
For UK internet users they are presently a lesser of two evils, but even then I would not advise routing all your traffic over one.
Firefox Container Tabs are a great way to selectively route certain websites over a VPN.
