Their ToS only allow one account per person...

Does anyone here have more than 1 free account on such platforms?

Has there been cases where people got banned for having more than 1 free account?

Sure, but on my WiFi network with my flat mates there would be like five concurrently logged in email accounts constantly connected and receiving traffic from proton. And then behind CGNAT that might extend to a hundred people concurrently logged in with one IP.

The false positives would drive away so many more paying or future paying customers it wouldn't be worth trying

Only thing I can think of is fingerprinting devices but then that'd be obvious, break their business model and also drive away customers
