The middle-man provides plausible deniability in this case. PornHub can genuinely say they don't see connections from age-verification states atm. That stops being true if they host the VPN, making them aware of actual client locations.

Wonder if a parent company could own them both.

That would be a liability, and they would go after the parent company crying foul play.
