I'd love to be able to customize the date/time display any way we want and have an option by default to auto-detect based on our browser-reported region/timezone via JavaScript.

This is identical to this feature request:
https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-feedback/suggestions/7158457-option-to-change-the-format-for-email-dates-and-tiThey should be merged.
Literally look at what ProtonMail itself does on this very board:

"Sign in with Facebook or Google Account" :P
For a company that should be so privacy-focused, they seem to lack situational awareness of their own feedback board.
On top of that, you are unaware of how phones and the modern-day GSM (Global System for Mobiles) operates in the USA and abroad.
GSM forces only 'approved mobile carriers' to connect to towers and to 'register' themselves (via the phone's hard-coded hardware ID commonly called IMEI/MEID/ICCID or equivalent). After that, they must agree to a certain standard of near-zero encryption (weak encryption) that allows for law enforcement to easily intercept & decode cell phone transmissions (voice, SMS, and otherwise).
In the USA, federal law mandates all this for the most part and the political trade organizations make sure that the 'status quo' is maintained. What you'd need to do is create a free fully-encrypted pseudo-anonymous massive WiFi network across the ENTIRETY of the United States, build your own phones and hardware to use the internet ONLY (bypassing the cell phone tower issues entirely), and still (somehow) be able to connect to said towers for 911 (emergency) purposes without stepping on the foul side of regulations.
And on top of ALL THAT nonsense, we have the apathy of the majority of the public. We have encrypted calling/apps that protect privacy but only a tiny fraction of people are willing to use them. Look at the apathy of people to the Snowden reveals (with many proclaiming actual ignorance to the entire debacle and many more turtling down in their 'nothing to hide nothing to fear' mentality).
There's a product already available but it is neither open-source nor truly private:

They claim privacy but in reality it is just a fancy wrapper for their custom app on existing mobile devices and a few hacky workarounds to make it dial-out to standard landlines/mobiles.
I literally just have a protonmail e-mail address and I still get a lot of spew thrown at me as a 'tinfoil hat' person whenever I have to give out my e-mail. 'Why dont you just use gmail like a regular person you weirdo'. Like WTF?
If you want protonmail to offer an open-source version of that 'blackphone' then good luck; the fiscal expenditure to do so is likely far more than reasonable. But if you just want a secure mobile calling app that can also call 'outbound' to any standard landline/mobile and sell a subscription service to pay them INSTEAD of cell service from a regular provider then that would be a better alternative.
