by this logic any VPN would put you in the same basket as other users
even a premium one could give you the same IP as a cheater
It depends on what VPN services you are using because premium like NordVPN account gives you a dedicated IP assign to you that is not shared with other user. Purchasing a premium VPN that share IP among premium subscribers is useless and waste money because it’s not a complete privacy since you share with others.
I believe most of the premium VIP offers dedicated IP since I use multiple VPN before with this same feature.

https://nordvpn.com/features/dedicated-ip/how a shared ip wouldn't be complete privacy? it would make it even harder to track specific things, don't you think?
a dedicated IP will have other advantages like technical stuff with servers, probably, not having to solve captchas many times in a row, this kind of thing.
what do you think?
I just answer about your opinion about premium VPN can still give you same IP with a cheater. We are talking about the possibility of being connected to cheater while you are redirecting the topic on different type of privacy which is not what I meant on this discussion.
Your share IP logic is good but with same concept of the privacy concern here, Are you comfortable to share IP to those money launderer and other criminal compared to have a dedicated IP which your only problem is if the VPN company save your logs.
