it should be mentioned that even with WPA2-PSK wifi you are vulnerable to arp spoofing

Public WiFi networks really should use client isolation. Sadly, many don't.

You can just go to a public place and run your own hotspot.

And use a name and SSID of some well-known public WiFi network. Then make a captive portal to force the user open an attacker-controlled page in a browser.

Even if client isolation is used, do you trust your local cafe’s WiFi AP?

I was thinking in enterprise contexts, but, yes, that's fair. Still, anybody doing anything important on public WiFi should be using a VPN.

How will a vpn protect the user if the target laptop is listening on a public wifi connection?

Actually maybe it wouldn't... I guess underneath the VPN it still has to be listening.
