For example, one provider and client like proton mail only uses OpenPGP and apple mail client only supports s/mime. Why is that? Why can we not have Proton mail support both, end of the story. Ain’t it?

    it’s really no worse than S/MIME

    That’s damning with faint praise if I ever heard it.

    The biggest problem of OpenPGP is key management. The web of trust is fine but key rotation is an absolute nightmare. And I say this as someone who has been comfortable using it for 27 years.
