So apparently Purism has their own privacy e-mail and VPN services, like Proton. I'm just wondering if anyone has used them and what they think, since I have never heard about them before, have never seen them recommended.

Why not just use proton? Its Swiss based. Not sure about purism but I think its US so avoid it like a plague.

Yes let's make sure everyone's on the exact same provider. What could possibly go wrong. "Just use X" bandwagonning is shortsighted and lazy.
