I expected more from them, even more so when they turned into a non profit.

Two points to make:

  1. What did they do wrong here?
  2. Isn't it better for these products to be provided by a nonprofit?

The issue is that they're neglecting their core apps in favor of expanding their portfolio. There's nothing wrong with creating these apps, but it should not be done until the core apps are industry leading and extremely refined.

The developers they used to create this wallet could have been used to fix protonmail bugs, or to bring protonvpn on Linux up to snuff. There's still no first party CLI for Linux boxes, for example.

It doesn't seem proton is neglecting their core apps, instead it seems they are getting more people, so each service has enough people. https://proton.me/careers
