Yea techies can do it but it's not simple/easy to use. I couldn't give my mother a key to use. I suppose something about the pure security of a OTP is enticing. Public keys can be broken, it's just not feasible at the moment. I don't know enough here, but it seems like past data sent via public key will eventually be trivial to decrypt? Losing a OTP is equivalent to losing a private key, not much changes there. I suppose if your partner was "coerced" then a OTP exposes both sides of the transaction, whereas knowing their private key would only help decrypt your messages to them.
