I'd say look at where the money comes from, and especially who the majority stakeholders are. If it's a publicly traded company, steer clear. Proton is majority owned by a nonprofit, so there aren't stockholders to maximize value for.

I'm not naive about Proton but you could do a whole lot worse than them.

In a perfect world it would be easy to self host email. It's easy enough to set up a bare SMTP server but that won't work outside of a lab.
