What are you talking about ? If anything proton is more convenient.
I think part of convenience is name brand recognition. I don't know how you took a heartfelt compliment and made it hostile, but the reality is I grew up knowing what Google was and using it as a verb. Gmail was an obvious and convenient tool to pickup.
I just found out about Protonmail, or at least heard of it for the first time that it broke the barrier of not-caring into carrying. I imagine user numbers reflect that pretty readily.
That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying Protonmail is worse in anyway, please don't assume I am. It's okay to like a product and admit it's flaws, in this case the only flaw I'm suggesting it has is being less known than Gmail and even then only for me and my small corner of the world.
Bruh i thought you were thinking proton mail maybe inconveniant to use that's why i corrected you . Sorry if i sounded hostile the problem is whenever people think of privacy they think like its for the paranoid ones and must be tough. I just wanted to clear it up for you.
