The list the repo maintains is for services that can provide burner or anonymous emails.
You can sign up for Proton Mail anonymously, as demonstrated by a frequent contributor to that repo in issue #414.
Therefore, it seems appropriate for it to be on that list, as annoying as that is.
I’d hope that site providers wouldn’t just summarily ban any domains on that list but I understand why they may take that shortcut to reduce spam/abuse if they don’t have adequate resources to handle it other ways.

How do you know this?
Besides that, this is just a list providing burner email addresses. Adding Outlook to this list makes sense. If sites are using this list as a blocklist that would cause issues, forcing them to not use this as blocklist anymore.

If I read correctly, in a PR someone makes an argument that Proton and Tuta are newer services that advertise privacy and anonymity as opposed to more well established services like Outlook or Apple mail that do end up linking mail to an identity.
