Actually, providers generate public and the corresponding private
certificates to their users since it is the easiest way to sign a
certificate with an intermediate authority certificate and verify their
authenticity on their servers.
This is much more complicated if the user would provide his
self-generated public key only.

It's interesting that was noted.
A main reason I understood some commercial companies generate a
private key for you - is so that they can offer you a complete
Wireguard configuration file for setup purposes. They would be unable
to do that via a public-key-only exchange/setup with the remote peer.
