I fail to see why it is their duty, or in their interest, to explain the nuances of Swiss court orders and extent of their powers in their marketing material.

If its something you care about, you should not be making your choices on the basis of marketing splashes and you should certainly not need your email provider to explain Tor to you.

This seems like a logical fallacy many Linux users seem to make.

I want the benefits without being a mechanic. And I'm willing to pay money for it. Lots of money.

Protonmail cannot, cannot protect you on their own from all privacy concerns, nor can they educate you in a frontpage splash.

Proper Opsec for dissidents requires multiple layers and technologies and simply cannot rely on a single vendor. Any proper company accepting credit card payments is going to be subject to court orders and there are limits to their ability to resist them.

Protonmail has taken extraordinary measures to limit their exposure to those risks but anyone who is assuming they can e.g. be an enviro-terrorist or CCP dissident and be safe solely because they use Protonmail is terribly naive and ignorant..
