And I'm sure that's too much of a hassle for everyone to do.

Hassle? I suppose, if you need to put down Netflix for what, an hour.....?

That's why a service like Lavabit was perfect to the core.

On my list of 'perfect', getting shut down by a federal agency is nowhere near the core.

They didn't get shut down by any federal agency. The owner chose to commit suicide (not literally of course) rather than to hand over private user data.
The fact that no one's data was compromised is a victory to all. Yeah they all suffered a loss but at least Lavabit kept it real to the end unlike other similar service providers
that make false promises.

Edit: Typos.
