They’re all like “privacy and freedom”, “take control of your data”…

They’re saying they’re the best for privacy literally on their website. You might argue that Apple does it too, which is fair, even though everyone knows it’s a lie

But yea anyways that’s a big flaw, they shouldn’t push customers to enable a feature that effectively deanonymizes them

That’s correct. And the fella used that freedom and control over his data to deanonymize himself. It isn’t proton’s job to be completely idiot-proof. They tell you what it is they do, and they do it. There are no false claims made.
