That is not what I asked. They don’t have the same functions, do they? Or even close to most of the functions. They’re all just e-mail clients.

The fact that you can’t come up with this kind of proves my point. And also proves my question wasn’t silly at all. They’re not perfect but they are definitely better than American big tech and they have much more functions and are much more user-friendly than more privacy focused options. They are the optimal middle road.

And I don’t feel trapped at all. I just decided that this was the path of least resistance. Which it will be for many people. The fact that you can’t put yourself in someone else’s position is your problem. And as it is now, you’re the enemy of positive change.

I’m not entrenched at all, this is just your own feeling of insecurity.
