We have given this quite a bit of thought, but at the present moment, it is not clear the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages.
The biggest problem is search. Encrypting all metadata would break metadata search entirely on the web client as there is still no efficient way to handle search of encrypted data within a browser.
Secondly, metadata encryption’s value from a privacy standpoint is also somewhat dubious. Because we ultimately must deliver the message to the recipient, we must know who the recipient is. At the current time, there still isn’t any proven and viable way to work around this.
Metadata encryption is an area of continued research for us, and when the opportunity arises and the technology for doing this matures, we will definitely implement it in ProtonMail.

I honestly cannot understand how basic search based on subject, sender, receiver etc. plus AND, OR, NOT syntax is not a thing yet in PM in 2025. Great that we can now (sometimes if the stars align) search body content, but without something that offers at least what gmail does, I can't use the web interface to find anything.
Is a key aspect of protonmail users not that they are pretty technical - how about giving us a really powerful search syntax + some UI magic to make it easy?
