In what world is it anti-consumer to get back your money if you decide you don't like the service?

Well generally if they cancel the service right then, yes you should get a prorated refund. The other alternative is simply allow for cancellation of the auto-renewal, so when the subscription runs out it simply expires.

they give you credits for the remaining time of your subscription, that you can use if you contract other services.

Well apparently you don't get a refund. You get credit for their service.

In the world of, I want my stuff and not paying for it. Gmail, for example

Oh but you DO pay, when using Gmail. Just not with your money.

If it's free, chances are YOU are the product. Not in all cases, but in a lot.

Yes, I was being snarky about the complaining about Proton’s immediate prorated refund policy.
