"Secure messaging" is a fantasy. Nothing is 100% secure. The question then becomes, how much security is important to you? Personally I prefer a marginal level of security with encrypted email over no security at all. Your argument is the same as saying, "well they might as well store our passwords in plain text since encrypted passwords often get leaked or hacked anyway".
