Protonmail is a little sketch, too. Much of their funding comes from Silicon Valley, and they, in turn, are all in bed with the intelligence services. When it comes to Protonmail, it does sound too good to be true, but they may be the real deal. See: https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2021/PSA210115
That link doesn't have anything to do with funding though, right? And "Silicon Valley" is extremely vague, exponentially so when you attach the claim of connections to intelligence services. You're not necessarily wrong, but to me this is way too vague to establish anything.
You sound like a shill for ProtonMail. Are they paying you for each post you make in their defense? As all things in life, nothing speaks louder than the people who sponsor you and sustain your operation, and when it comes to that, ProtonMail is highly suspicious, even if there are no clear indicators that they are compromised. Given the evidence provided you should, at the very least, be a bit skeptical of their operation. Unless, of course, you are shilling for them here, or benefit in other way or form by making people believe that they are legitimate.
