> why trust a third party with the keys?
For the same reason that people choose Facebook web hosting over their own privacy protected servers. They are not tech savvy and know little to nothing about security. They don't even know what keys are. 10 years ago, they just knew that Hushmail offered encrypted email. It was the first service anybody heard of that did that. The non-tech savvy crowd is the niche that services like Hushmail exploit.
