You just flat out made that up. The Spanish police (federal police its not clear) made a request through the legal channels under their terrorism laws.
Whether or not it is terrorism is absolutely not up to Proton or any other business to decide, they just have to comply with the laws of the land in which they operate - in this case, Switzerland.
