If you pay for GSuite as much as you would for Fastmsil ($5/month) you get the same privacy protections as Fastmail, along with better features (e.g. unlimited IMAP keywords per mailbox instead of just 128, better spam detection, etc.)

We only allow 100 these days... though I'm hoping that limit disappears once Cyrus IMAP internal datastructure changes happen. I bet Google aren't a fan of you having hundreds of keywords on emails either - but their data model at least supports it.

Well, one is a surveillance company that's always trying to get more data on people. One is a privacy-focused company with no stated interest in that. Both are in surveillance states with cooperation agreements. FastMail has the edge here short- and long-term.
Ideal case is one end-to-end protected in a country with stronger, legal protections for customers. ProtonMail fits that bill but lacks maturity. Some of us want our mail to definitely be delivered with a provider that will stick around long time. FastMail has the edge there over ProtonMail.
