I don’t think the release these bridge apps on BSDs or smaller OSs

As long as your weird OS is supported by Go, you should be able to build and use it.

I don’t see them not releasing binary builds for such niche platforms as a strong argument.

you’re forced to use their apps on Android & iOS

I see nothing preventing the use of an alternative client.

Besides, both clients are FOSS:

github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail-android
github.com/ProtonMail/ios-mail

These free-tier-loss-leading strategies are expensive too.

As a paying PM user, I think it’s fine. I can afford to pay ~$50/year for something as basic as e-mail. Not everyone is as privileged as me though and it’s great that they can have a slightly less featureful version for free.

Privacy in the most basic element of modern communication shouldn’t be reserved for the privileged.

marketing-heavy

Could you point me to the “heavy” advertising? I’ve yet to see any.
