Don't collect data and there's nothing to handover https://mullvad.net/en/blog/mullvad-vpn-was-subject-to-a-search-warrant-customer-data-not-compromised
Basically comparing apples to oranges. Mullvad just does one thing or maybe two if you include the browser. Proton operates on a different scale. There's going to be some data generated if you expect to use the whole suite without running into issues. I'll accept your argument when mullvad operates on a similar scale with the same opsec.
I'm not buying 'they need data cos they offer more products'. The companies have made different choices in how they build their software.
