    Most people don’t use PGP/GPG, despite it being generally available.

    If the vast majority of people don’t use something, it doesn’t matter much whether it exists.

    A service that makes end-to-end encryption easy for the vast bulk of the public is another story.

      Most people also do not care about privacy or understand anything about encryption.
      If this shit was to happen, it would hit the news for a cycle, some people would get slightly upset and then it would go on with the next thing.

      Most people here care a lot about these things and are technically inclined. But we are a minority.

      But you know who does use PGP/GPG to manually encrypt their messages?

      Child traffickers.
