The FBI did not serve the subpoena directly to Proton Mail.

"We want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT," said Proton AG's head of communications, Edward Shone. "Proton only provides the limited information that we have when issued with a legally binding order from Swiss authorities, which can only happen after all Swiss legal checks are passed. This is an important distinction because Proton operates exclusively under Swiss law."
