What you're talking about is supposed anonymity in obfuscation, and that has been proven to not work.

Also, most VPN companies keep logs and can be subpoenaed. Not all, but most. I2P is meant to anonymize your traffic, so I do not see the point of your statement

if it's been proven not to work, then neither I2P nor VPN is worth using, no?

most VPN companies keep logs and can be subpoenaed.

well, sure, but that's why anybody looking into a VPN is generally advised to use specific, known-good VPN providers who don't keep logs and who, preferably, aren't headquartered in a country with strict IP law.
