From what I read and understood from Proton’s docs is that their solution is actually less privacy preserving than a regular Bitcoin wallet. As your BTC addresses are associated with your Proton email one only needs to send you BTC, then one has the email connection to the BTC address though that transaction. So as long as they don’t have default coinjoins, it’s worse. But ppl will believe it’s more private because of their other products.
Also I saw no RBF or coin control.
People believe anything but the truth is where they draw the line! On wards 🫡

My first thought too. Why tie a utxo to my email yikes!
It's not private, but I don't think it's supposed to be.
I think the goal is to be simple.
Gotta start somewhere 🤷♂️ Lightning would be a great next step as well.
Important clarification:
If you use the Bitcoin via Email address, it of course must link one address in your pool with that email, but each transaction uses a different address from the pool so they are not linked together. It is also possible to disable Bitcoin via Email if it's not suitable for your particular threat model.
Additionally, coin control is on our roadmap and currently being worked on.
But isn’t each single BTC address linked with the email? Then one could connect those too.
