The global VPN market is also expected to grow by around 50%, from an estimated $23.6 billion in 2019 to nearly $36 billion in 2022.

confirms that in both cases this is a forcedfully pushed installation of the same trial version as on the respective providers' webpages
** - currently it is estimated that 80% of users who try/buy Kaspersky Internet Security/Kaspersky Total Security uninstalls first bundled KAspersky Secure Connection even if it's free up to 200MB daily.

Bloatware/PUP has long and bad reputation and personally I do not think that it is a good step... looks rather to be the desperate towel throw.
