If that’s the case then perhaps they should have implemented Monero (or something similar), which was designed for, and as far as I know, still provides both anonymity and privacy. Neither of those are properties of BTC.
Or they could have not done this since there are many other wallets that can be used without a paid account that can easily be blocked by such a regime.
Seriously, if you live under the scrutiny of an authoritarian regime, please do not use Bitcoin for anything that might get you into trouble. It is neither anonymous nor private.
Bitcoin has much wider adopt which is most likely why it is first. BTC has an average of 600k transactions per day vs XMR which averages about 30k per day. I’d probably make the one that would actually be used the most first as well.
Except they only support the main blockchain for BTC which is really pricey
They could add support for LTC, DOGE, Lightning for BTC, and XMR and they would get a lot more customers
And you’re also forgetting that XMR is a really good choice to support for a pro privacy / anonymity company. Having crypto support without XMR for that kind of products makes little sense

People use BTC everywhere in the world, for example the anti-Putin opposition. Proton is implementing what people need, that’s fairly simple.
BTC is okay, but XMR is a lot better
We need XMR support. Right now we’re just swapping XMR for BTC to pay anonymously
