Well Mullvad stopped providing port forwarding, which is necessary for good torrent support (especially if you use public torrents and you need ones that aren't seeded a lot).

They also stopped supporting openvpn which I need. Wireguard only now.

It's not enshittification in terms of ads etc but it is reduction of possibilities because they already make enough money on the people using the main features.

But anyway I rely on both things so I moved over.

mullvad stopped providing port forwarding due to the abuse and the effects a single-digit percent of their users was having on the other 90+% of users.

not because they "already make enough money on the people using the main features" or "enshittification".

its kind of like the opposite of enshittification, actually, seeing how it made the service better for the majority of their users.
