I take slight issue with "marginally better than Google". Any of the services mentioned here (Posteo, Fastmail, etc.) including Protonmail are _much_ more than "marginally" better when it comes to privacy.
The issue that you have with Protonmail seems to be that they enabled IP logging in response to a lawful government request. Google logs IP by default, scans your messages, etc. It baffles me that there is less outrage at that than this single case.
I agree, it's non-trivial and perhaps my comment came across in a negative light. But, I think people are overstating the implication of the issue at hand - especially when you compare Protonmail (and others) to the big providers such as Google and Microsoft.
