I think Proton is more viewed as a honeypot
I have not seen this take before, do you have any pointers to someone making this claim?
There was some deanonymizing like that, phone or credit card

Founders with US affiliation/physicist creating crypto products [1], faulty claims how the relevant Swiss law (BÜPF) applies to them [2], doing crypto in JavaScript on the client side, etc. To me, this smells like Crypto AG [3][4].

Crypto for websites is completely broken (because the server can serve you whatever it wants), so doing crypto for websites at all is suspicious.
idk if they have anything like that for their other products like calendar or file storage
Presumably if you stick to mobile apps you won't be using JavaScript served by their server? Unless they're just html wrappers

It's easy to throw around unsubstantiated, impossible to disprove theories.
It's too bad they focused on commercial closed-source solutions providers. The ecosystem would have really benefited if they had put their efforts to, for example, do the same work with NextCloud.
