(Getting PGP integrated into mailers is stil bogged down, for reasons I have to believe have to do with pressures from somewhere, else why would e-mail packages not make PGP support painless?)
Because PGP's user interface is yucky and its programmer interface is even worse. Amazing how people don't realize how much certain important things depend on such a (deceptively) simple concept as having a nice user interface and a nice programmer interface. In contradiction of certain cypherpunk urban legends, I suspect that such pedestrian details are far, far more important to the course of history than the clumsy and feckless machinations of government agencies. But for the good news, see the quote from Jim Bidzos in my ".plan".
