There's no real way to know if VPNs intended for the public are run the same as those intended for enterprise. Windows doesn't have a lot of the same BS in their enterprise versions that are in the personal ones. Even with the same software, it could just be a checkbox that the salesperson can check for big businesses with legal teams that read and enforce contracts.
