Isn't this insecure?
Yes, but it's better than sending the password directly in plaintext and having it be permanently stored on somebody else's server.
Shouldn't you use PGP / other existing secure software for this?
Probably. This is a compromise designed for ease-of-use. The main benefit is that the recipient doesn't need to have anything installed or any understanding of information security or cryptography.
