I would be very much surprised if GPG has ever really achieved anything other than allowing crypto nerds to proclaim that things were encrypted or signed. Good for them I guess, but not of any practical importance, unlike SSH, TLS, 7Zip encryption, etc.

They allow some kind of nerd to claim that, but nobody who nerds out on cryptography defends PGP. Cryptographers hate PGP.
