A lot of claims about being "privacy first", but is there any way to actually verify these claims? For example they claim "no logs", but unless I log into their servers and personally check there is no way I can be sure, right? Is there something I'm missing?

In my opinion, Proton glows. If you're a nobody, they will protect your privacy, but if you matter then it seems they won't stand up for you. I still use Proton, but it's mostly for registering on sites for which I don't want to burn a Gmail account. I wouldn't do anything sketchy on it.

Note: my post is about Proton Mail, I have no idea about Lumo but I imagine the same hypocrisy applies.

Any other mail provider can, and most certainly has, done the same thing when forced by a court order.
No one is going to go to prison for you because of your $5.

How does this differ from any other SaaS service? Unless you specifically target "bulletproof" services, that are oftentimes blocked anyway due to facilitating fraud, scams, and other illegal tranactions (since the whole point is them not obeying the law while operating, until they inevitability get shut down).
