Yes, it briefly mentions it but the entirety of that is about shaming VPN use. Is it not?
It doesn’t actually mention VPNs at all. It simply says you were blocked due to a network policy, and offers potential solutions ranging from “try logging in” to “if you’re doing fucky things with your user agent, maybe try not doing fucky things with your user agent.”
Wtf do you think "network policy" is about when it comes up when using fucking VPNs? It is entirely about VPN use.
Your point was that it’s scolding users for using a VPN. It’s explicitly not doing that. Yes, they’re actively working against VPN usage, but your original statement was still incorrect.
