I wouldn’t call it reasonable.

If you’re trying to evade LE because it’s illegal to be gay in your country, and you get caught because you’d listed an Apple address in your ProtonMail account - can’t we design better products to make this less likely?

Who gets to decide which specific sorts of evasion of law enforcement are acceptable?

Should we consult your personal moral preferences for that, as applied to each of the 200+ countries on the planet? Why do your preferences overrule those jurisdictions' decisions?

I think there is a fairly straightforward answer to this question. It is always acceptable to evade law enforcement for anything related to laws restricting human rights as outlined in either the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, or the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

I think you’ve completely missed the point.

Folks who design products that are trying to protect privacy should do their absolute best to sand down the sharp edges and make them secure-by-default wherever possible.
