Because it creates confusion as proven by the responses mistakenly assuming that you were referring to proton.

and if i mention the company, the responses are all about the company instead of the feature.

next time i will just keep my thoughts to myself and we'll all be happy.

You could have just ended your comment at:

> side note: i really wish more companies did the no email + randomized account number flow.

Everything you said after that added confusion and this tangent instead of the conversation you wanted to have.

		actively not choosing a product because of the lack of a feature seemed relevant enough to discussing said feature. the problem was that i forgot how weird online conversations are. i cant imagine a person in real life latching on to a small detail so strongly, ignoring basically everything i said.
