So your answer to „you can’t generalize vpn good, isp bad because not everyone is living in the UK and US“ is „but what if everyone does?!“ ok
Even in other countries using something that is tested and proven for its no logs policy beats taking a stab in the dark and being hopeful that your ISP doesn't.
You said yourself you "bet" that ISPs in other countries don't do it but you don't know. Something like Mullvad has been proven not to keep logs which sounds a lot better than some dudes hunch.
But if you want to gamble with your privacy by all means do it but you shouldn't act like you know what you're talking about when you tell people to trust ISPs because you think if you're in a certain country they don't spy on you or sell your data.
