Who said anything about encryption? The problem at hand is handing over IP addresses of a customer when they themselves are peddling a supposedly privacy-oriented service. The fact remains: it isn't fit-for-purpose, and these are non-solutions to real problems for anyone who isn't just LARPing a threat model. Replace "French climate activist" with "dissenter in an oppressive regime" and that person would be dead. Who cares if they later won in court? They still threw someone under the bus. Trusting a third-party business who is subject to the laws of where they operate means this will always be a problem, doesn't matter if they're an email provider or a VPN operator, the solutions aren't fit for purpose.
