Proton does fight for users:

Unlike other providers, we do fight on behalf of our users. Few people know this (it’s in our transparency report), but we actually fought over 700 cases in 2020 alone. Whenever possible, we will fight requests, but it is not always possible.

Well I will be very careful with the 3 email accounts I have with them...
