No it doesn't contradict their advertising. They've been completely open about this the entire time.

And they're not providing anything other than account details per the infographic. Account data remains encrypted

It's on you if you thought a business would break the law for you.

It is safe; your data is still encrypted. They only provide account metadata.

You're confusing privacy with anonymity.

Edit: and furthermore, Proton does have the ability for you to set up your account anonymously. You can use a burner recovery email and pay with Bitcoin.
