The author seems to be conflating habits with scheduled tasks.

We have the same timeline and general opinion — BUT SN has shown several serious bugs over the years … one of which locked me out of my account at a very inconvenient time, and support was responsive but ultimately could not help.

These have given me pause as to the robustness of the security of SN. Hopefully Proton can put some attention to these issues.
