True, but I don't think I'd use this website for anything I'm that concerned about. At that point, I'd encrypt it myself with something like gpg or openssl on the command line.

This fills a handy gap for a lot of people with smaller needs.

You point out exactly the problem: the people who are technical enough to deal with GPG's UX competently are also technical enough to evaluate whether they should put a particular document through this Send service.

I don't think nontechnical people have "smaller needs".
