Which conveniently left out the fact that they shared it when required to by lawful order. The way this is phrased (more, the intentional omission of that detail) implies that Proton is continuously sharing IP addresses with whomever asks for it. If you don't think that is a disingenuous way to relay the incident, I don't know what to say, we're probably at an impasse. They way you've relayed it is a more honest characterization of the incident, and one I don't take much issue with.
I would note that a small amount of networking knowledge would make the "until the government asks us to" part implied. A quick look at the user settings (specifically, the "Advanced logs" toggle) would also make it abundantly clear that Proton has the ability to track IP addresses upon request. Does that mean Proton is entirely off the hook? Of course not. But people should make decisions and come to their own conclusions based on all of the facts, not statements that omit material details.
