If Protonmail servers are hacked, it's game over (that could be mitigated by having verified client code, but at this time there's the web client that is served dynamically, and the mobile clients are closed source...). That is where Protonmail are at a huge disadvantage unless they have a really really good security team. Server hacking is done a dime a dozen nowadays.

That's a threat that Gmail faces as well though.

  With a security budget several orders of more, yes.

    Google also has much more diverse security problems to solve so that's not a good argument either way.

    It has to have a larger budget, it's operating on a larger scale.
