This is also very very incorrect! Think about it, how come people in Iran/China use VPNs to access the outside work? If TLS were sufficient for privacy, your claim would be correct, but this is very far from reality.
TLS is another _layer_ of security, but it still reveals who you are talking to via SNI and DNS queries, and worse: how often you are talking to them.
You can use TLS to secure a VPN connection from state actors. You can also use TLS 1.3 to avoid SNI, and DNS over HTTPS (or just use DNS over a tunneled connection). But I'm talking about how you don't need a VPN for a business purpose.
That's kinda a different thing, though. People using VPNs to circumvent national internet restrictions is one thing. Securing a corporate network is another.
