I think it's not the services fault that people aren't aware of the limits of encrypted services. They are not going to shut everythin' down just for a few people, if you need smth anonymous Proton is not for you.

Also, it's your task to have good opsec. If you give your iCloud email to Proton which has personal information sticked to it, your fault.
