Idk for most people, but the reason I use proton mail is to avoid google parsing everything I receive to send me ads. I "have nothing to hide" on a legal pov, I'm not a criminal, the worst offence I do is like Jay walking or crossing at a red light on foot when there is no one at midnight. I don't use proton services to protect myself from the law (or in other words to avoid the consequences of my acts), I just want to be a customer instead of a product.
YOU JAY WALK!?
You are a disgrace!!! How do you sleep with yourself?
DISGUSTING!

But that’s a really great point. It’s easy to thinking of your threat model as all or nothing. And you are right. I’m not hiding from the law. I’m hiding from advertisers. If the government acquires my information then it was a mistake on their part as there is nothing there to find other than emails from my bank.
