You can pay with Bitcoin or cash apparently, though the latter will require contacting the ProtonMail team & arranging terms.

Okay, now try to.
You need an existing account, which you can't get if you:
- disable javascript
- don't verify with a phone number
- get stuck in captcha hell
verify with a phone number is notorious for blocking google voice number blocks and detecting devices that aren't pinging cell towers

If I was that concerned, I'd get a burner phone with a prepaid SIM card and create my account from a public computer while covering my face.
Plus, as somebody else already said: having JS enabled seems pretty much mandatory if you want to be able to decrypt your emails client-side.

In the EU countries, it has (by law) become very hard to obtain an anonymous prepaid SIM card.
