No, those are not “layer of abstraction” and they do not have equal importances, claiming otherwise is counter-productive. Each data does not reveal the same quantity of information and their hierarchy depends on your threat model.
I did not say it was as precise. Those are words that you used. I’m saying that any layer protecting you is good. Your mobile service provider keeps a log of every device the connects into which IP it connects to. Let’s say there are 1000 people using it same IP. Now they have reduced that list from millions to 1000. If you use a VPN that does not log, all they see is the VPN address.
I don’t actually have an interest in convincing you, because if you want to assume your mobile service provider is safe enough… That’s your own opinion.
I’m not saying you said it was precise. I’m just saying that not every layer is important, or even good.
What if there are less people using that VPN IP than using that ISP IP, now your are giving more information with a VPN than without. How do you verify the claim that a VPN does not log? Spoiler, you can’t verify, it’s just trust. You have to chose who you trust enough to give them access to the website you visit.
This is not about me but about the advice you give to people. If you give advices you need to back them up, you can’t just answer “I disagree” to contradiction.
Every layer of abstraction is important.

You’re welcome to have that opinion.
You’re dodging the issue. Why would an IP that’s shared and does not give precise location be as important as precise GPS location?

I’m sorry but I disagree. I encourage you to continue with your methods of security.

You’re wrong. And I hope anyone reading your advice takes the time to go do actual research. Goodbye
