No they won’t. Virtually every tech company in the world uses them. If any legislation was proposed then companies from the likes of Google and Microsoft down to hundreds of companies with fewer than 100 employees would all fight it.
You make it sound like our lawmakers are wise and would make an informed decision and not just write an exception for companies that lobby for exemption.

Can’t say anything about China, but why do you think vpn’s are illegal in Russia? Sure, the big vpn companies inside the country might be influenced by the government to limit your access to some banned websites. However, you can freely use a vpn if you wish.
Again, I remind you that you could always set up your own vpn server for personal use.

Easier to make money off them if you don’t lobby for an exemption.

There, FTFY.
Virtually every company (tech or not) and every government uses a VPN…
Russia, China and every other authoritarian shithole has made them illegal

Only “government approved” VPNs are “legal” in Russia. Guaranteed that none of them bypass country censorship.
I took their comment to mean “companies offering VPN services as a subscription for the purpose of privacy”.
It wouldn’t be hard to target those companies specifically while leaving every other “legitimate” (in their view) use cases for VPNs alone.
