I give vpns maybe another 2 years before they're banned, for sure in the US but I'm sure elsewhere too. What do we do then?

Actually blocking VPNs is pretty tough. Almost all internet traffic is encrypted now and any of that can be a tunnel.

Countries like Russia block them quite successfully. The commercial ones generally have their lists of servers publicly available, allowing to just copy and paste.

Why not outlaw them for individuals and give a pass for corporations or rich people ?

Already outlawed in many places, but you can still just buy your own VPS in another country
