Exactly. There's no reason for them to support Bitcoin over Monero in their wallet if they care about privacy. Also, bitcoin can be used for paying for their subscriptions but not monero.

Their reason is just so that crypto bros get interested in it and other people who are still under the assumption that bitcoin is the most private and secure.

This has been ignored by Proton for over 6 years now. And it has like 2800 votes.

This is a pretty big red flag for a privacy company.
