Cheaper accounts for low end users.
It is good to see Proton Duo, but it is too much and way too expensive for our needs.
We are a retired couple with little use for large amounts of data storage, mainly used for financial and legal matters, and maybe a couple of email addresses.
An account for two with maybe 100Gb (or less) of storage and a couple of email addresses each. Basic calender needs, VPN, basic Password manager (a bit up from the free version?)

A user doesn't need to be retired to want less and pay for less.
I really only want E-mail and VPN with 500 GB of storage, and am willing to pay for those items only. Unfortunately, the only real option with enough storage was Proton Unlimited.
I don't have a smartphone, and will avoid purchasing one until there are no longer flip phone/basic cell phones available. A lot of Proton's sales pitch is around smartphone integration.
I don't use online calendars - all appointments are written down, and if I need to schedule an event with friends, Thunderbird's calendar application is adequate. I've already tried to "integrate" Proton Calendar with Thunderbird and can do without the hassles.
I will not use cloud storage as I backup files regularly to removable HDD/SDD drives, so Proton Drive is useless for me.
I use KeePass for logins and to generate secure passwords, and the password file is part of my regular backup routine, so I will never use Proton Pass for that capability.
Further, after having all my key personal information leaked to the dark web thanks to the Change Healthcare breach, I will not Proton Wallet.
Give me an option with E-mail, "hide my E-mail" aliases, VPN, and 500GB of storage for less than the Proton Unlimited plan, and I'd be happy.
