Well yes, they do, but that's true for any cryptosystem where you did not personally audit the source code and then compile it yourself.
That copy of GnuPG on your Linux box? Did you audit the source? Are you aware of the underhanded C competition and how... well... underhanded a source-level bug can be? If you didn't compile it, do you know all the people who have the CentOS/Debian/etc. package signing keys?
ProtonMail isn't perfect but it's better than plain text e-mail stored with a company that's known to make a business model of data mining you. Don't call it "snake oil."
