We don't need the general population to understand email security - they use what's available/provided and it'll have to be easy enough that it works in practice. Once there's a viable alternative and financial liability is tied to the pretense of email being secure, suddenly we'll change to the new system.

What's interesting is that it's only liberty minded tech people working on the problem. The next email system will be tailored to protect the user because that's what the designers care about, rather than the interests of other organizations, for example serving legal papers electronically.
