I started reading your comment, but you're attacking a straw man: nobody has ever said clicking a button was hard.

Additionally you think people who don't understand software that's complex to find or install are 'dumb'.

I stopped reading there. You should reconsider how you think about others.

Edit: you've edited your post and added some screenshots of the app store. Fine, I'll bite. There are good things in the App Store, this doesn't address the fact that the GPG site won't point you to any of them at all, that GPGTools has multiple names and the download link is off the front page, that MIT is not a mainstream directory of people, that knowing about keychains being a popular requirement for crypto does not means that it is necessary, or any of the other massive flaws in crypto UX as exists today that I haven't already addressed.

You said "Everyone and their mother understand that keychains hold keys." then agreed this wasn't true, and then twisted that so claim that I think people are morons. If you're not trolling (if you are, you're doing very well playing someone who has no sense of sympathy), you're missing the point: other people don't care about crypto, they just want privacy. Much in the same way you don't care about rack and pinion steering, you just want to go somewhere. That doesn't make them morons, it makes them busy.




You're the one you said clicking the download button on the GPGTools site was too difficult to figure out.
