How come ProtonMail doesn't let you pay with bitcoin to create an account? They let you "top up" with bitcoin but to create an account you have to use a KYC's payment method. Are they just a CIA honeypot all this time?

I stand corrected. There is a free option here that I didn't see: https://proton.me/mail/pricing

Every time I tried to open a free account behind a VPN, they asked for SMS verification. In their documentation, they claim its to prevent abuse. In my experience, they really do want to soft kyc you either with a kyc payment method, a phone number, or an IP address.
