Not at all, mental outlaw has a video why proton is a honeypot
And yeah, you can't really trust anything not self hosted by you
One of the biggest tinfoil hat youtubers out there, heh. I think he has some good stuff though, other stuff is just plain speculation and paranoia. Email in general is not secure, not everyone can self host or wants to self host. Proton does it's job for anyone that needs an alternative to Google and also wants to maintain a set of features like calendar, tasks and so on.
Link please.
Very sorry, I'm not sure which videos it is
Try to watch mental outlaw's and the hated one's videos about proton
Or wait, maybe it's not mental outlaw
Maybe this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhdJzjC7Leo

And you can't even trust that - good luck finding hardware with open source schematic that is not ancient.
All processors have built-in spyware (Management Engine etc.), and that's not going to change, since there are only a few highly sophisticated factories in the world that can make them, and the factions controlling those have no interest in producing consumer grade spyware free hardware. Modern processors have become essential for weaponry and warfare, so this is not going to change, only get worse.
