I don’t know if that’s really the case, given https://docs.google.com/document/d/11yHom20CrsuX8KQJXBBw04s8...

> * The option to encrypt to SSH keys, with built-in GitHub .keys support

And lower on the page, it shows the use of built-in command-line syntax for “github:$recipientname”.

It definitely works for keys that aren’t used for SSH, but support for SSH keys seems to be a large part of the rational for the ed25519 support (otherwise it would just be a tool that operated on X25519 keys directly).

That's true, I'm just saying, the rationale for the existence of the tool isn't "build something that encrypts with SSH keys", but rather, "build a modern replacement for PGP file encryption".
