This is not quite correct. According to Protonmail:

My criticism is: You should never use an e-mail address from which you cannot send. This has nothing to do with Protonmail but is a problem in general.

Forgot that, I personally have a paid account and I think many people using Protonmail do, the free accounts are not so good.

Depends for what, if you subscribe to newsletters you don't have to send emails, but I agree it's pretty dangerous to use an email that you don't have send access for.
