If I had an e-mail provider I’d be confident staying with for the next few decades, sure. But I don’t feel confident about it and it would just move my problem with old gmail e-mails to the next provider.
And the next provider may not have a “takeout” system. Since Proton has encryption you have to use their client? I remember hearing about Proton bridge to connect to other clients, and it was supposedly clunky.

You don’t have to use their client (this is why I choose them over tuta) they provide a imap bridge (separate program to be installed locally). Works fine for me for the last few years. Just have to use their client on mobile but it works well enough.
