Wait, how does minisign "pretend the problems PGP solves do not exist"? Minisign is an example of a purpose-built tool designed specifically to address a problem PGP attempts to solve. We're now talking about two different tools each of which addresses something in PGP's scope. If we keep fleshing out PGP's scope, we'll keep finding more tools like this, because very few people operationalize PGP and lots of people have the problems PGP attempts to solve.
Your argument doesn't cohere.
I feel like the rhetorical sleight of hand PGP advocates too often fall back on is the idea that while there may be tools that do some of what PGP does, and those tools put together may comprise a superset of PGP's functionality, there is no one tool that does everything PGP does by itself. But that's the whole point. Part of what makes PGP so bad is that it's a Swiss Army Knife.
