I know that Apple got in trouble for storing and passing around unencrypted location data a while back.[1] I also remember a story about predator drones sending unencrypted video feeds, apparently because key management is hard and they thought their enemies were too low tech to intercept.[2] I'm not a security/cryptography guy, but my impression is developers do this because it's easier.
