You have have to consider the lowest common denominator in security. You're security it's only as good as your weakest link. Say you have an emergency and your grandparents need to email your PII to a hospital. Can they do it securely? You need to email some PII to them. Can you do it securely? Some security for all is better than no security for most, hence the "grandparent test".

I think it would be even better if we could design systems where it isn't even necessary for a family member to "email your PII" to anyone. That's a terrible idea in almost any situation, regardless of your security.
