I wish ProtonMail would offer more email aliases with its paid plans - credentials reuse is what often allows to snoop on someone's online identity. That would really boost its value in terms of privacy.

I was looking into possibly switching over from Fastmail while I happened upon the 5 alias limit and couldn't help but chuckle. I'd have to have an acute need for encrypted email to overlook that.

How about "compartmentalisation" and "single point of failure" as reasons to use ProtonMail for some contact, a disposable Gmail address for others?

Sure, those seem like good reasons but for a different use case and different from using ProtonMail as your main platform for daily email etc.
