It's an excellent commercial angle, as most people will become parents over time, which gives a strong incentive to continue with Proton. Kuddos!

I really wish they would improve existing features rather than this stuff. They've been promising a Drive client for Linux for years.

Seems like a nice way to raise a bit of money for the foundation, and the problem of children needing email addresses is a real one. I just don't understand how reserving an email address years before they need it actually improves their privacy. Is this really just a case of reserving an address if your child has a common first name and last name, without having to keep the address active?

Proton mail and privacy? Is this some joke?

Even better, buy your child a domain name when they’re born. Then they can use any email service in the future, not just an obvious CIA plant.
