As with Protonmail it would be nice if they could focus a little bit more on their core product. Importing emails is still not possible with them. As an email provider. With an open issue about it from 2018 🤷♂️.
I would say it is even worse. Last thing a couple of days ago was a password manager which is quite lacking in functionality. Next to the encrypted cloud drive service which does not have any sync clients and an encrypted calendar service which is lacking in features that etesync has solved years ago. The most functional would be their VPN, which seems to be fine for its price.
And it is not like they would not have anything to do on their email service (next to the billing system, which cannot handle you buying the pro version of the password manager if you are already subscribed to their mail service)
There is a sync client for Proton Drive, it’s just not rolled out to everyone yet as it’s in testing. I have it, as a Visionary level account. The phone apps are freely available now, however. I’m not saying they are lightning fast at developing their products but wanted to clarify these points.

Does protonmail focus more on product?

Unfortunately no. Their VPN is perhaps the worst of their offerings (when it comes to Linux). Read my reply here and jjffnn’s reply here
