Many consumer tech companies and their products actively deprive their customers of any privacy as a integral part their business plan. They continue to increase profits margins by surreptitiously stealing all of your personal information they can harvest then reselling to government entities, law enforcement, data aggregators/profilers, advertisers etc.
This disturbing trend is now a tidal wave as tech startup companies routinely follow the same business practices pioneered by Google, Apple and others. A customer's personal info is the product, the device or service is only the collection mechanism.
tl;dr
Finally my point is this:There is no company, device or service that I would willingly allow to obtain my fingerprints or DNA. The recipient *will* sell the data. If not, governments will subpoena or simply steal it to supplement their already vast collections of personal data, simply because they might 'need' it in the future.
Cost <> Benefit IMO
A great and essential feature. While I don't know that I require this function now or in the near future the same is not true for others.
For many, many people in all parts of the world this feature could literally save a life or allow a person to avoid an indefinitely long stay in a 'labor camp' managed by the Supreme Leader. Use cases are abundant and documented.
This is an essential feature that would seem to be at least somewhat related to Protonmail's reason for existence.
