THE HATED ONE: We need to talk... about the Proton ecosystem

You are getting to caught up into an individual example. The strategy is about what works on millions of users.

I guess it’s time for those of us who are disgruntled about this decision to rise up and make noise.

SimpleLogin is basically bundled with Pass at this point.

Premium access to one gives yo premium access to the other, but Proton Pass and SimpleLogin remain and will continue to be separate services. Proton Support told me as much themselves, numerous times.

My guess is SimpleLogin will be completely absorbed by Pass eventually

That’s not what they told me, and I believe them. Proton essentially told me that they want people who have no interest in Proton Pass or any other Proton service, to be able to use SL login as a standalone service.

SimpleLogin and Standard Notes are also products Proton bought, not developed themselves so they may have to handle integrating those differently.

Yes, that is a factor, but it is not the case of Lumo. And I bet it won’t be the only native Proton product that will have the option to be added on. And it’s clear that that decision has more to do with greed profit motives, rather than what is best for the user.
