Sure that big hammer approach works for many.

But it's not trivial, or in some cases even possible,
if you need some combinations of...
a) anything less than the entire routing table captured to vpn
b) more than one tor and/or vpn instance running
c) point different apps at and/or through different things
d) etc

The ticket exists make those type of things more trivial ;)
