This holds true for any kind of secure communication you want to do.

Manually handling keys and encryption with GPG is the core of good opsec, and also a reason why 99% of "crime prevention" backdoors are probably not going to do much. But people are lazy, been a while since I saw a drug dealer hand out public GPG keys, ever since Telegram and the like got popular.

I mean, they're still out there if you know where to look.

You're right though people are often too lazy for gpg.
