Isn't this sunk cost fallacy?
Condescending people saying "it sucks shit, I'm 10x smarter than the author of PGP" usually say that the UX of PGP is hard, which makes it prone to errors.
I have security keys and I use PGP. Unless someone can teach me why it's not good enough for me (and "it's too hard to use" doesn't convince me, given that I actually use it fine), I won't spend hours learning how to use the new cool tools of those condescending people, just for the sake of it.
