> Why does it need a vpn client?

Do think your web browser also should not have SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support? What about DNS-over-HTTPS?

Proxies are protocol specific.

A vpn is a network layer tunnel. Does your browser also include its own built in ip stack? Maybe it should have its own window system.

DNS arguably would also be best left to the OS, yes.
