Considering that most VPN adresses are linked to suspicious, if not outright illegal, activity, its quite reasonable to assume that they end up on automatic block lists.

it's not a "gen" thing. They are still used by bots and scammers and pirates and and well-meaning n00bs who unknowingly abuse the service. They're just also used for privacy now.
