I've been told multiple times that having a @protonmail email makes me look like a conspiracy theorist, once in an interview. Privacy is way more niche than I'd hope for.

You have to learn by using it, build your train of taught around the language you're learning. I learned COBOL and forgot it even faster as soon as my head wasn't in the books, never practiced it, probably wouldn't even recognize it now.
It's karma for their Microsoft rootkit.
Some companies don't see privacy as security. They want to know your background, when you punch in/ punch out, if you're the type of person to leak secrets over the "dark web".
Some also don't believe in privacy at all, they believe in contract. When choosing a platform they want to know if they can sue them for breaching an NDA.
I did not receive an offer from that specific interview but yeah, I admit it was odd and didn't inspire trust so I wouldn't have accepted anyway.
