    Proton is marketing to tens of millions of people and customers who have no intention of breaking any law, but want some assurance of privacy when laws are changed or ignored by whoever is currently in charge of whatever country. Choosing Proton as your provider because you want to privately break the law with their tools is not the same thing, or even relevant.

      I am not saying that Proton customers want to break the law. I am saying that customers should not expect Proton to break the law. They should be aware that subpoenas exist, and that all companies follow them (aside from massive tech companies like Apple that can afford the lawyers to fight the subpoena), and that its an inherent risk of relying on any private company.
