Is this a common thing? Why should they give priority to encrypted reports?

It could be a somewhat arbitrary bar to separate the wheat from the chaff. If they get a lot of questionable submissions, prioritizing encrypted submissions means prioritizing submitters who at least know enough to use encryption.
To encourage people to use encryption?
Shouldn't they give priority to unencrypted ones since they're ostensibly more likely to be publicly exposed?
