Well, SMS obviously can't do GPG due to character limits - however, there are dozens of varieties of secure SMS tools currently on Android. It seems that some variety encryption could be supported by the default client - much like OTR for Pidgin, etc. Not that it should default to it - that would be awful. But that it should be able to have an easy to enable option.
There's a lot of people world wide mad about security right now - and if Ubuntu Touch can eventually ship with a good basic set of security options, it will appeal to people who otherwise might have no reason to use it.
