some of these tools actually fully replace pgp (see opmsg for example) however that is actually a very low bar to master. it seems pgp is seen as a silver bullet handling all use-cases like a charm, this is far from reality, actually it fails in many cases, and specialized tools might actually fit the purpose much better, also surpassing pgp in their special niche.
