The EU already invests in closed-source software with grants. I don't like it, but there are worse choices than ProtonMail.

I'm not sure it's a good idea, I've seen some other software companies they support and concluded it was a gravy train for those businesses.

If they are worried about the dominance of Google et all then they could look at taxes and regulatory changes to shift the balance.
