The only thing in this world more complicated than setting up GPG is setting up GPG with Yubikey.
The fact that I have `fix-gpg` script to restart gpg-agent somewhere in $PATH that I run when for some reason it can't find my YubiKey tells me that it's not a viable solution for 99% of people.
PS. Actual command from GPG:
> help
...
sex change card holder's sex
...
This is more an issue with GnuPG though, not OpenPGP.
Also, you may want to try using an actual OpenPGP Card (https://www.floss-shop.de/en/security-privacy/smartcards/13/...). (You can get a small one inside a USB token too)
On older machines, I agree. On recent installs, it just worked.
Getting it to work with my phone is slightly dumber. But still not super hard.
