There has to be a HUGE amount of pressure on the current most - popular alternative to a big tech product. They don't have to kill everything just the main one and eventually people get tired of switching.
Speaking of alternatives to Proton, i mostly read tuta. Why do people not mention posteo? is there a reason that I am not aware of?
Slightly different markets: Proton and Tuta are both end-to-end encrypted, Posteo is not.
There's a lot of downsides that come with E2E encryption for email. I have some domains with Tuta, and some with Posteo and Mailbox.

Any proton alternatives that are in EU and at least are not under the jurisdiction of 5 eyes?
Have a look at Tuta. They don't have the same breadth of service as Proton or Mailbox, but they're pretty good and constantly improving. I don't really understand why they're not better known.
My only issue is their spam filter is kinda bad.

Soooo happy that I invested the time and effort into self-hosting my own email server.
