Over 15 free VPN apps on Google Play were found using a malicious software development kit that turned Android devices into unwitting residential proxies, likely used for cybercrime and shopping bots.
So, did you read the article? A rented server was breached because it didn’t belong to Nord and the company that it belonged to was at fault. I personally have had no problems with the service. They didn’t lose passwords, user data or any credit card information. At worst someone may have been able to monitor some user data and internet traffic. This also happened before I started using them (I had another VPN before that).
How is it exactly that you think large VPN’s work? Because I gotta say, no large VPN isn’t using some independent vendor. Can you prove they still do business with that vender?

The fact that they cant protect user data and security is the only necessary fact you need to take from it.
If you defend a VPN service that runs on shitty servers without sufficient security, then you are just against reason.
