The need is convenience, of course.

Are you really going to encrypt alerts your servers are sending you with GPG?

Super sensitive ones, yes. It's usually just a matter of copy and pasting the ciphertext into a GPG app and then see it get decrypted.

Other common and non-sensitive notifications (like "Hey there's an SSH login on this machine!") I don't encrypt since I see no reason to having them encrypted in the first place.
