Proton doesn't have a good privacy record a few reasons including this

Well they changed the IP logging policy of protonmail on a dime, so who's to say that they won't change their VPN's policy? They just don't have as good of a track record as people seem to think around here.

Really? Protonmail doesn't have a clean track record. They backtracked their TOS, their onion site forwards to the clearnet, and they outed a French climate activist.
