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.
