Are they “bending” more than what they are legally required to? Their model is that they cannot provide content if it was end-to-end encrypted, even if they were forced they just can’t. If someone pays for their account with a credit card that’s information they can be forced to give. I haven’t heard that they have gone beyond that and willingly given information. I don’t think we can blame a company for not breaking the laws of the country they operate in.
This is a dumb take. Proton wll not fight or defend their users at all. They had to backpedal on their privacy protections and change their advertising lies multiple times.
It is always blame the user as well. There a plenty of ways that they would never have to store this information on their servers. They choose not to do this. They can also push back against these government requests but they won’t be because they are a honeypot for criminals and they know it.

Even offering that concession, which I don’t, that doesn’t excuse the crypto wallet.
