I agree, and two more points I'd like to toss in:

- PGP lets us explore user interfaces for crypographic communications
- Using programs like PGP help create a legal presumption that
  ordinary folk encrypt messages (i.e. it's not a "profile" for
  illicit activities, like unsing large quantities of cash has become)
