XMR integration and a easy swap between BTC and XMR would be cool to have stronger privacy if needed. So you can still hodl your favorite store of value but benefit from strong transaction privacy in a user friendly way.
Regarding the recent Proton Wallet, I respect their conscious effort to be transparent and open about the tradeoffs / threat model (especially in their recent blog posts; see below).
I just tested out the wallet, great work.
Though not perfect ATM, they seem to be on a good path so far in building a Bitcoin-only wallet to simplify sending and receiving Bitcoin for their 100 million Proton users.
Presently, they appear to use the Bitcoin Dev Kit (BDK; see below) as a dependency, with coinjoin and the Lightning Dev Kit (LDK) on their radar. Hopefully, we will see silent payments integrated down the line, too.
Nevertheless, as a Proton user, I look forward to seeing how the Proton Wallet evolves 🔥
