While having the latest and greatest in technology is always fun, I consider it really optional at this point. It's much like all things coming up now with fancy new ways based on blockchaining. No it isn't the holy grail to "blockchain everything". Neither ist Wireguard at this point. Sure, the tech is promising and might be fast as a lightning bolt (for you) but their own(!) website has a big fat message reading:
WireGuard is not yet complete. You should not rely on this code. It has not undergone proper degrees of security auditing and the protocol is still subject to change. We're working toward a stable 1.0 release, but that time has not yet come(!) There are experimental(!) snapshots (...) but these should not be considered(!) real(!) releases and they may contain security vulnerabilities(!!) (which would not be eligible for CVEs, since this is pre-release snapshot software). If you are packaging WireGuard, you must keep up to date with the snapshots(!)
So long story short: this makes no sense right now besides binding resources to alpha-grade software to follow even the slightest releases to avoid missing a security related bugfix etc. etc.
I'm all for including it with a (more) stable version, but until that it is alpha-grade software and a big testing ground, indifferent what other VPN providers may do and prematurely jumping the hype-train. Solid implementation does more for me than being the first to have access to some sweet that is just half-baked at its current state.
"Spamming" rude comments about them not listening (it's only a feedback forum after all, not a support/ticket system) isn't bringing anything further. Also the minus (-) sign character is - per mail RFC - a standard and default character that may not be used in some special form but recognized as a normal character. The + sign is specified exactly for the use that protonmail and others like gmail uses them: add an alias-like mail address.
So just taking a standard character set symbol like - and re-defining it's usage and meaning in your own mail setup is bound to create problems. Also just taking it after allowing it before to use in normal adresses (even if it's now reserved) may bring you further problems.
