I don’t think a provider should fight any order, especially if the chance of success is low or basically zero. It’s also very expensive. A provider that doesn’t have the data in the first place, is legally speaking better.
But an email provider will have to retain the data unlike VPN companies. Personal details, maybe but there are ways to never share them in the first place but the unencrypted emails are always at risk.
Not every order providers recieve is rightfull or legal or even fullfill the requirements of the law, or the legal forms are just not filled out correctly by the officer or department.
Fighting does not really mean, go to court, that would only really make sense for precedence, but more like “only do as much as you are required by law” and maybe “delay everything as much as you are allowed by law”.
Yes, that’s reasonable. That’s what e.g. mailbox.org does. And they publish periodic reports on how many requests they receive, how many they successfully reject, and how many they have to follow.
