Personally, I will stick with Proton for now because they are the least fascist option I have found for my use case that suits my standards of security. As such, I would not consider myself able to cancel my subscription.
But I do deeply dislike their CEO, Andy Yen, and will send a complaint regarding his conduct and recommending his removal. He is a danger to his own company’s mission and to Proton’s user base.
I agree with everything you said in this post. I will add that:
Proton’s insistance on using Electron applications for their “standalone” apps is a major issue as well.
I recommend using LibreOffice instead of their rather trashy office suite.
Lumo also needs to go. Ethical software cannot be developed with—or in support of—LLMs.

I also plan on sticking with Proton for now. It works well for me and I just migrated to it. I don’t have the time or energy for another migration right now. I also paid for a 2 year subscription, so I will use that time to eventually migrate to something different. I just need a break from that kinda work for a bit.
