XEP-0374 is very fresh compared to other PGP-related extensions. Just to give an example, 'XEP-0027: Current Jabber OpenPGP Usage' became active in 2002.

If it is competing with OMEMO or not might be a separate discussion, but both can be used to utilize E2E encryption of messages.

XEP-0027 became officially obsolete in 2014. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt they didn't mean anyone has to think about XEP-0027 in 2021. They implied they could break compatibility some day. So I think they're talking about not having 2 current standards. How they see a transition working is still a good question though.
