I don't think that ProtonMail complying with the law here is in any way the problem. They simply have to.
However, in this case just as in a few other ones before this one, it has become pretty clear to me that ProtonMail's marketing is deceptive at best an in a few cases some of their claims just blatantly not true.
What surprised me most is that when I pointed this out in the past, I was immediately attacked by what appeared to be like Apple-style fanboys, whole would not stand by anyone criticizing ProtonMail.
To this day I'm not so sure if that was just the genuinely zealous behavior of a few deranged individuals, or if it might have been a concerted commercial effort at damage control.
Either way, to me ProtonMail certainly is not what it claims to be (if not explicitly than at least implied). To me it's just another commercial entity trying to make a profit by tapping a relative niche market while convincing gullible people they are something they actually are not, in any way that will make them a bigger profit. Nothing really shocking about that, and mostly just standard behavior for any other modern commercial entity operating within a capitalistic economy.
