Although it worked as advertised, I moved to Fastmail because of privacy concerns and haven't regretted it until the last couple of years.

I understand, but I do wonder why it is that many of us trust our email to small providers that claim they do not read or scan our emails vs. very large providers that claim the same things. How to know who is really telling the truth? And, even if your email provider claims privacy you may use an email app on your phone that gives the app folks complete access to your email.
Essentially,
privacy is pretty much dead in the Internet age. Even if your email remains private you will be tracked every time you use a credit card, shop in a store or online, visit websites, use a smartphone, use a bank, etc. Impossible to prevent. Instead, I would argue that
security is really what is important.
