    Proton is still a for-profit company. However, there is now the non-profit Proton Foundation that is the largest shareholder of the Proton company (not necessarily majority shareholder).

    Plus, non-profits are not guaranteed to be positive. See OpenAI for example.

    This is disappointing as someone who does not want everything centralized under one company. I have tried to diversify the services I use, but this is the second one that Proton has acquired.

    SimpleLogin development has essentially been stalled since they were acquired by Proton as resources were used to develop Pass instead. I have a feeling that Standard Notes will be treated similarly.
