TLDR: Google is bad, here's how to delete your Google account. BTW, looking for a better google now? Use our stuff since we just convinced you to delete your Google account! "Ditch your spam filled mailbox and delete Gmail now! We have a better alternative - Tuta Mail."

Yeah, something tells me they're not completely altruistic about this even though I get where they're coming from.

Imho they are selling their service by making clear what their USP is.

I don’t see anything wrong with that.

Are they lying about Google's activity? Is their corrective advice mistaken or dishonest? For both i'd argue that no, unless you can point out the opposite. Thus, while yes, they're obviously selling their own service, this is a clear case of lesser bad and hardly worth criticizing.
