I don’t think you read the TOS. I think you read the out of context snippet and assumed that it applied to your VPS. They removed that bit because it was confusing, not because it was not limited.
Being forced to agree to a TOS change without an opt out is scummy, but that’s not limited to Vultr. Companies are not out there with multiple versions of TOS based on what people agree to or not. At that point you’re better off not using a VPS.
Welp I’m an anonymous person on the Internet so you can believe what you want. I could say that my job is literally mass deploying servers (devops) but if you don’t believe me that I said that I read it then I’m not sure what we can agree on.
Let’s just stop while we are both ahead. It’s a Thursday, good day for coffee yeah? Hope you have a good day.

It appears after the controversy they removed the parts https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/03/after-overreaching-tos-angers-users-cloud-provider-vultr-backs-off/
But when I read the tos, it was pretty clear it was not limited.
You also had to agree without an opt out which was scammy. There are better providers out there.
