I don't think you're spoiling it. I use 0bin only for things I'd
otherwise use a non-encrypted tool for... I'm sure some users make
errors by assuming too much security there, but considering that the
alternatives aren't 1/100th as accessible I'd have a hard time arguing
that the tools aren't a net gain.

They could perhaps be improved if they suggested a more secure alternative.
