My take is that Proton CEO Andy Yen's pro-Trump comments were born out of naïvety, not the same mindset that plagues tech CEOs in the US. Combining that with Proton's benign actions since then, I think it's a good time to diversify, become familiar with alternatives like Tuta as you say, and make a backup plan should they enshittify, but don't rush to jump ship now.
