Someone can come up with a reason to not use any of these.

And yeah, this UID situation with Protonmail is not good. As a long-time Protonmail customer, I've been concerned that they seem to have gotten bored with keeping a stable product.

Back to the point... I still will be using Protonmail because no product is perfect. For example, Fastmail I believe is in Australia which is one of the last western nations where I would want my data to be stored. I wouldn't use them, but does that mean someone else shouldn't use them? Not really. All of these products have tradeoffs. Since Protonmail's delete function is likely to still work most of the time, I won't yet be abandoning them. Fact is that I find all of the alternatives preferable to relying upon The Google.
