I have to point out the obvious, but security and privacy are not the same things and just because a service advertises itself as providing one or the other doesn't mean it really makes a difference. Just for example, if you use an encrypted email provider it makes little difference if the people you are communicating with aren't also using encryption. Myself, I found that exactly 0 of the people I regularly communicate with have either the skill or the desire to use anything other than regular email channels.
