True, but you might be able to store it/hide it away in some DHT behind a username and passphrase, even that might not be necessary. You can solve a lot of complexity in the protocol by good frontend people who understand UX.

Even Whatsapp is using PKI, its just all hidden away from the user.

Yeah, Apple's passkeys is trying to do this too. Their UX is good but it's still pretty immature
