Gonna be honest after working in the industry and seeing how corrupt auditing is (incompetent auditors, even some auditors getting paid off) these things don't make much of a dent to my decision making.
I say this as someone who pays for Proton.
Valid to an extent. I've personally experienced various audits whether for ISO, PCI or SOC and the quality of the auditor certainly does vary though I've not encountered one I would consider incompetent; the audits have always been rigorous. I've not personally seen bribery though I have seen where an auditor might relax how aggressively they look for issues over the years of getting to know the people and quality of the company.
