Both being unsafe seems the most probably state of things.

Still, something unsafe can still be safer than every other option ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why choose if there are other solutions ~~(like tuta)~~ that use open standards

What open standard (that are not used by proton too)? If anything proton uses GPG while tuta uses a custom system (which is why they also encrypt the subject).
