If they do try to ban VPNs, it will be just like when they tried to block people from using encryption decades ago. People will do it, they won't be able to enforce it, and the people will win. There's too many VPN users these days for government to stop. Government is not "all powerful".
Thats not the intent here. The only reason for this wording is so if they do happen to catch you for something else, even unrelated, they'll be able yo tack on extra charges after they discover you were using a vpn.
Also if they suspect you of using a vpn, they could get a warrant based on that alone.
