I always worry that it will get bought out by some asshole company and we'll be even worse off than with Google (if that's even possible).
That’s the benefit of a custom domain, I suppose; you can always change he provider without changing your email.
Problem is with the way email security is going now, it's entirely possible in a few years, if your domain/provider isn't an established one, it will get blocked by others.
I've had a few domain just straight up block some Tutamail emails.
But here's the other issue: Proton and Tutanota are both not going to make it easy on you to move your mail.
I moved away from Tuta, and while getting my mail out wasn't as straightforward as with regular mail services, it also wasn't hard.
Proton offers an IMAP bridge, which will let you use any IMAP client to download your mail and then transfer it somewhere else.
