Other providers will return garbage to your mail client. The mail client itself must have PGP capability (plenty don't).

The bridge doesn’t even provide everything a IMAP server does

I've yet to find any functionality missing from the bridge's IMAP server that's present in any other IMAP server.

and there’s isn’t a way to get get calendars and contacts.

• https://proton.me/support/protoncalendar-calendars -- see "Export a calendar" no page anchor for this one
• https://proton.me/support/proton-contacts#export-contacts

There's not currently a real time way to get that data, but it's hardly "vendor lockin."

specially on iOS for instance

There's something ironic to me about chewing Proton out for alleged vendor lock in while using iOS / Apple products.
