I guess most find it useful to have all these tools/services supplied by one company. Personally I think it’s awful for privacy.

Using just one vendor isn't actually all that bad for privacy (anonymity being another matter), but requires lots of trust. As a US citizen, I trust the Swiss more than a US company, and can see that Proton's choices (including arbitration) are in support of my key requirements to have uncompromising privacy. I would like to see more companies competing for my trust, but these guys win so far so they get my money.
