VW was breaking the law in a way that harmed society but arguably helped the individual driver of the VW car, who gets better performance yet still passes the emissions test.

It might sound funny in retrospect, but some of us actually bought VW cars on the assumption that, if biodiesel-powered, it would be more green.

And afaik the emissions were still miles ahead of a car from 20 years prior, just not quite as extremely stringent as requested.

"not quite as extremely stringent as requested" is a funny way to say they were emitting 40 times more toxic fumes than permitted by law.
