You should offer Life Long Plans

I disagree with this. This would lose value to the customers when Proton wants to upgrade and integrate new features.

This is a stupid idea just like the people suggesting 5 year long subscriptions. Proton doesn't operate for free, they buy their own servers, maintain them, add new updates etc. and this all costs money. If you have a lifetime plan then that allows Proton no flexibility, if people pay let's say $500 and the cost of operating their servers doubles, they start losing money while with yearly plans they could at least balance out that lost revenue but not with lifetime or 5 year long plans.

Don't agree. In my opinion, timed plans keep the company having to innovate to keep the customers, and I like that.

Proton CEO already said that this doesn't aling with their mission in https://proton.me/blog/sustaining-mission-over-time.
"Proton services are never going to be the cheapest, we’re not going to have flashy promotions, unlimited “lifetime” plans (unless it’s for charity), or offers that are too good to be true. Not just because it doesn’t suit us, but because it doesn’t suit the mission."

Life long plans make sense for something like a download, but Proton makes more sense as a subscription service since there are recurring maintenance costs for Proton. I would rather subscribe to Proton rather than have Proton go under or sell out due to an eventually unsustainable business model.
