Sounds just like Proton in the article:

The fuck is the point? That banking details are subpeonable?

The point is that the headline is true. Proton helped the FBI uncover that person’s identity, by revealing their banking information.
Yes, it was legal for the Swiss government to request that information and for Proton to release it when asked.
Those facts aren’t mutually exclusive.
I don’t understand why you’re responding so aggressively.

Because people are like 'OMG proton is such a snitch time to switch to <other service that will do the exact same thing>"

not directly related but on top of this, wasnt it the massive campaining and political pressure from us and eu that forced swiss banks to lift the swiss bank secrecy? maybe people start to understand this law exist(ed) for other reasons than tax evasion.
