>We have far superior communication channels that are secure, easy and private today (Signal, Matrix, WhatsApp, iMessage)

These are valuable tools, but they aren't usable on the command line the way gpg is. Signal doesn't help me sign an update to my software package.

Also I think the web of trust is a pretty cool concept, in theory at least. I don't know if anything outside GPG supports it.
