You're being dramatic and uncharitable.

GPG works.

Being uncharitable with security critical software is the right attitude to have.

Yeah, not quite. I've used it extensively. I've got an excellently well connected key. I've tried writing software that uses gpg. I've reached the conclusion that it's a lost cause.

People have. Things like the Signal protocol for instance.
