So it's like saying they want to make sure storage is efficiently used and aren't handing out 500 GB of storage to multiple users and they end up only using a fraction and now there isn't enough storage for new users. Something like that right?
Also for Proton, I know you have to pay so you can use the Bridge to use 3rd party clients.
Yeah, maybe something like that. I switched to Posteo (from Proton, which didn't have IMAP back then, and that from Gmail) like a decade ago. And something that I appreciate about it is that I've developed a practice/ habit of archiving or deleting old emails.
I save important photos, documents etc to my local disk and then delete the email. For context, I have 70 messages in my inbox.
Like I said above, the way I think about it is they don't want the cost of guaranteeing additional storage, but it's just a guess. If you were to send them an email and ask (I've sent a couple over the years, they respond to email), I'd be curious what their public response is.
Yeah I've been thinking about sending them a couple of emails to learn about their business decisions and structure. I'll reply about the responses I get!
