Setting up GPG isn't hard but it's also not always the right tool for the job.
It's a lot to ask for someone to copy and paste a GPG encrypted message when you just want to send a private link to a (non-technical) client or when you just don't want something in my facebook message history.

Why is it so hard for people to set up GPG?! Installs even have contextual menus to encrypt text for a given person!!
I use contextual GPG for pastebin all the time.
