I would guess that the vast majority of those are VPN services.

When I search through my 20 years of accumulated emails, I can find the following unique users who have sent email to me at the four company Proton domains:
  • proton.me — 0
  • protonmail.com — 4
  • pm.me — 3
  • protonmail.ch — 0
I see many more AOL.com addresses than Proton.

Of course, I’m in the US. My assumption is that the list would be completely different in Russia, Egypt, Nigeria, India, China, and Indonesia.

I use my own domains at Proton.
Very seldom use their domains for sending mail.
