Would somebody care to sell me on why this is superior to SendGrid or Amazon Simple Email Service? (Or perhaps what use cases it better serves.)
An encrypted mailbox service would be nice, considering our privacy is pimped out by the big guys.

I can see that on the top of their list already. Somebody has to fix this problem with less-complicated solution than PGP.
Not seen one myself yet, but $Boss who went to infosec came back impressed and is trying to arrange some for testing.

As far as I know, most e-mail products focus only on sending e-mails and not receiving them. Mailgun works both ways.

My interpretation is that this provides a mailbox API, to provision and maintain mailboxes on THEIR servers. Doesn't sendgrid just perform a restful post when an email is received rather than store it and all? Almost akin to pop vs imap.

Detailed searchable mail logs: we actually tell you what happens to every single one of your messages - nobody else is that brave!
Incoming email push - and our parsing/cleanup of incoming traffic is pretty impressive - if it's time to self-promote, it's now. And our incoming email handling if flexible: we do routing/forwarding, similar to Rails/Django routes.
Storing/hosting your email traffic and giving POP3/IMAP access to it - nothing stops you from giving each user of your app their own email address. Some customers do that very, very creatively.
Piping it through some battle-tested Mixpanel-powered analytics doesn't hurt too: some companies charge an arm and a leg just for that one feature.
Mailgun is not about merely pushing mail, we're more of an "sexy programmable ESP" :) We're just a bunch of oddballs who thought that running an ESP business would be fun!
