Sure, but we’re talking about architectural choices. It is Proton’s choice to use that system; it is not required for the goal of account recovery.

Well yes but you could just set another Proton account as recovery and not your email which you used to sign up to everything…

Can you? Didn’t someone else mention that Proton don’t allow another Proton account?

Well on the other hand you can just not be a terrorist (for that case)
You can also set a temporary mail if another Proton isn’t working. There are enough ways around such restrictions.

This person isn’t a terrorist.
Proton also don’t allow temp addresses.
