Is it funny?
By a sizeable margin they're the largest and most popular in the space. At the same time, that makes them the biggest target and most watched.
Someone even mentioned a possible smear campaign by Google. While there's no evidence at all of that, they would be the most obvious target.
So it's not really funny or odd in any way. It's kind of obvious really.
tuta seems to avoid making this "mistake" and it too has a sizeable following as well as a full complement of privacy respecting services that can rival proton.
tuta is (like proton) snake oil. (here and here are two of my old comments about why....)
Oo intriguing last guy I asked about this never answered very good
They realy aren't, and don't.
Tuta doesn't have even half the user base, or services.
They aren't bad at all. And I don't doubt they'll get there.
But they aren't at all close yet.
