Is it good? Are there any better alternatives?

Doesn't allow third party email clients.

I can recommend Posteo.

AFAIK 3rd party clients not supported cause of lack e2e encryption support

I still think it would be better to give the user freedom, and just give a warning that there are privacy risks.

There is a small important distinction.

It is because there is no proprietary e2e encryption by default exclusively while communicating with others on tuta.

E2e encryption for 99.99999% of emails is via passworded pgp that everyone else has and uses or not encrypted at all. I have tuta for years and have yet to send or recieve a single encrypted mail that is the reason that they can't have a 3rd party app outside of tuta's own advertisements I get served.

It is vendor lock in. Pure, plain, and simple.
