> They're not smart enough to rate-limit based on your account credentials?

This works until a VPN node starts having tens of thousands of users from one IP address.

Rate limiting based on account credentials is a solution to having tons of users connecting from one IP address...

depends on what they are rate limiting. if they are trying to rate limit logins to prevent brute force attacks... I could see a naive implementation being problematic for NATed users.
