VPN Providers are using OVPN files more often because you can bundle the certificates and configuration into one file making them more relevant.

Last time I checked, the Import feature simply extracted supported values and loaded them into the application? The problem with that approach is OpenVPN is developed faster than network-manager-openvpn which means if network-m
anager-openvpn lags behind in supporting OpenVPN parameters, you're still left in a situation where you simply can't use it.
By simply specifying a OVPN file which is then just directly passed to OpenVPN as an argument without the same sort of processing, you can bypass this problem and enjoy the benefits of the UI and integration network-manager-openvpn brings.
