Seriously curious: why is that?

I don't trust Proton at all, and Obsidian is a nicer experience for this anyway. I had a ton of old notes, and now that a new owner is taking them all, it's time for me to delete my account and move on.

Can you articulate why you don’t trust Proton? From everything I know, they have a stellar reputation and have been around since 2013 with no end in sight.

But they're E2E encrypted? I don't understand the issue here.

If you trust Proton, you trust that they'll remain e2ee securely. If you don't trust Proton, you don't trust that they'll remain e2ee securely. I don't trust Proton and actively avoid their products.

But the entire point of E2EE is that you don't need to trust them.

There's a point to be made for web apps, but with their client apps, the source code that encrypts your data is right there.

With reproducible builds (that don't exist on all platforms) and code review of every update (which I won't do).
