This is actually kind of huge. I use a variety of cloud storage providers but Proton are the only one I trust to not need Cryptomator!

Niiiice. I use a free account for some backups of some files and this is definitely a huge plus.
I've had ProtonVPN for 3 years now and I have 0 complaints.
It's the only VPN I've ever used that doesn't have less bandwidth on VPN than off. I regularly saturate my gigabit connection for hours at a time with 0 issues or throttling, and tunnel my torrent client's traffic through it 24/7. It also allows me to watch 4k content on mobile data without throttling and circumvent my phone provider's restrictions on hotspot/tethering they want me to pay $30/month to remove.
Best $5/month I've ever spent.
I had no idea you could use a VPN to circumvent mobile data throttling. Fucking amazing info, mate.
If you can, it's actually a bad thing because it means the Telco is violating net neutrality by picking and choosing certain traffic to zero-rate.

I still remember how ludicrous it was when Gmail offered 1GB for free. What did Hotmail give us? Like 50Mbs?
I remember when Google offered "unlimited" for free.
I'm pretty sure I have 1TB of storage on yahoo email.
...Yahoo though, so I'm moving to proton

I started with Hotmail back when it was 2 mb.
Wow. I guess we didn't really send attachments that often back then and 2mb was plenty.
Well and the attachments we did send were rarely anywhere close to 2MB. Uploading 2MBs on dial-up was TORTURE, especially my shitty rural dial-up.

What happens when they reach the point of “enshittification”?
Then you should migrate to another service.
Company: Marginally improves free product tier
You: "Well shit, this is the beginning of the end for those guys!"
Next time you see that comment box open up before typing something - think.
They don't have shareholders to please and don't seem to be hungry for money right now.
Once that changes, sure, they'll go downwards.
Word of advice for you, if you have this attitude towards everything you won't enjoy anything in life anymore.
It’s a fair question these days but I probably deserve the kick back. 😀
The problem is a lack of context, you post an innocent question but people reading it can't tell if it's a troll or what. You've got to be careful about wording stuff online, but also just ignore the imaginary internet points.

Honestly, I don't even think it is a fair question. What about asking "when they reach enshittification" gives any options on the answer? They become shitty, like everything else.
It's why I pay for my proton mail. I don't want enshitification to occur.
I wish people stopped to throw that term around
It's been giving me semantic satiation for a while now.
