>When 90% of the people you email are on Gmail or GSuite does Proton mail really help?
Depends on your threat model.
Having all your email in one place is a juicy target.
But the Swiss want a warrant for a specific crime, and then it's my understanding your government needs your password to decrypt the emails at rest.
Not being able to go on fishing expeditions is a good feature especially if you have years of email.
>Perhaps I am old but I don't know a single person that uses Whatsapp or Signal. Everyone just uses old fashioned SMS or iMessage if they have iPhones.
When I explain people can use Signal on wifi and not get any spam calls, many older folks are open to using it. You don't always need to sell Signal on privacy - older folks on a limited income may not have infinite data, being able to use wifi for calls and texts cuts data use and they like that.
