Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.

I don't use any of the default Gmail apps. Not because of ads, but because, if your email is too long, Google will truncate it and make you click to a new page to read the whole thing. I found Edison Mail on Android works acceptably. And in Firefox I use an addon called Notifier for Gmail. But I've seen recently that N for G might stop working sometime soon.
