Unless the network owner themselves are malicious.

Which is ironically one of the primary reasons you’d want to use a VPN. Public WiFi? VPN, to prevent MITM attacks from a spoofed router. Work WiFi on your personal device? VPN, to prevent your employer from spying on your browsing habits during your break time.

The only time actually use a VPN is when I don't completely trust the network owner...
