It could be done, but as many others have said, why? What challenges face Signal that Proton would overcome? Why make an already fractured messenger market worse? What technical advantages does Proton have over Signal? It's likely they would use the Signal protocol anyway.
The main arguments I've seen are "we need something not US based" or "Because I want my ecosystem complete." Asking developers to waste time making something you don't actually need just because it would in some sense make you feel whole is not a valid reason. It makes much more sense to improve existing products than to introduce one in a market that doesn't need it.
As for moving to Switzerland, Signal is designed so even government subpoenas can't reveal your messages. It was never designed to stop the subpoenas in the first place, just make them ineffective. Many individuals seem to live under the delusion that Switzerland is a magical place where subpoenas can't get you and your untouchable. This is false and until someone can provide a technical advantage for Proton essentially duplicating an existing messenger, please stop asking for it.
