I tried sharing a protonsheet to someone who has a proton.me address. It failed with the message in the title. Why wouldn't I be able to share a proton spreadsheet with another user?

I don't know, they may not be.
But lying or not, it's false all the same. You absolutely can share with proton email address. Even proton.me addresses. An error saying you can't is nonsensical.

It's cool that it works for you. Doesn't invalidate OP's bug find

Unless it was some kind of user error. It's impossible to know with the limited information they've given us.

They can't not be lying and also be false...

Even if they are being completely honest and truthful, the error message itself is false.
