I was also under the impression that Proton was a non-profit, but learned from the Reject Convenience video linked that they are, in fact, a for-profit company. Not trying to advocate for using or not using it, just sharing my learnings.

For both of the other organizations you mentioned there is financial transparency ~ something that proton lacks.
The public records from the companies that sell stocks are not so useful anyway.
Obviously I’d prefer to know more about Proton spending, but the examples made in the video like “I want to know how much proton has spent on that YouTube ad” are just impossible. You can open an Apple shareholders report and check it yourself.
Still, I’d rather have no capitalism rather than capitalism + financial transparency reports. One day they will sue you if you don’t pursuit more profit. Not gonna happen with foundations.
edit: I misread the comment and answered like you were referring to openai and google and not mozilla and wikipedia, sorry
