Proton has handed over 32,076 users' data to governments since 2017. Their own transparency report states a 94% compliance rate in 2024. (infosec.pub)

In Belgium, a judge can order you to give your phone password (and I would guess a decryption key too) and not complying with it risks imprisonment and a fine.
So like you say it entirely depends on the local laws. Most of the discussion around Proton here should focus on Swiss laws instead of projecting based on their own local laws
