"Working towards" typical proton bs re Linux functionality.
At one point they did a big blog post about why Proton Drive for Linux has taken so long.
It basically boiled down to "the clients for Windows/Mac are so poorly written, they are barely working and we spend all our time trying to keep them working. There's no way we can handle a Linux client as well unless we rewrite everything to make it actually ok".
They were trying to rewrite at that point, to one decent shared codebase. I guess it's progressing ok, if slowly.
They were half arsing linux a couple of years ago when I walked away from them, and had being doing so quite some time prior to that, putting stuff on the road map, and then just leaving it there.
The success of protons marketing has made them the 'privacy' choice for people who cannot be bothered looking into things further = they must have a ton of customers by now, and should be very profitable, so can they still legitimately get away with suggesting they are just a small company and can't fix everything... while they still keep releasing new products? (assuming they still are doing that)
The have released an MIT license Drive SDK.

So GNOME and KDE should be free to implement vfs backends directly.
