If the owner of the standard notes will now be a proton, doesn't that contradict this principle? I have a proton email account but I don't want it linked to my standard notes account. I don't strongly trust companies that offer packaged services like google or Microsoft. I prefer to have one service from one company. I am afraid that now I will have to change where I save my notes. What do you guys think about this?

Because you're paying them so you don't have to do that. Why would you pay them a premium if you're just going to do it yourself anyways?

Also that costs money to develop, maintain, and run. Which takes money/resources away from things most customers care about.

There aren't red flags here, everything is open source, this is all verifiable information. You're just refusing to accept that.

Because they can provide other assurances with their service even if I've to setup the PGP in my e-mail client. Like knowing the entre thing is actually managed with privacy in mind, like not logging more than they should etc.
