(In)secure by default

I was wondering (yet again!!!) just like the spam problem rant i had few months back, why isn't all communication is encrypted yet?

I mean we had the technology, now we have the processing power and even implementations. Its really not difficult (technically) to set up a secure channel these days.
All you have to do is create a certificate for yourself and the other party and use it. Boom so easy.

I can't fathom the fact that our email clients still don't have button saying "establish a secure channel with this contact". how hard is this? why can't address books integrated with keyring managers? why are address books and vcards still existing anyway? aren't they just keyring managers?
Damn........ i am angry
