Ask HN: Why is GPG so bloated?

#1
(rant) Hello, I've been using GPG and I'm astonished at some of the defaults. When decrypting it does not require me to input the password for a key? The gpg-agent is running forever? Like anyone who thought this is a good idea must be on a government's payroll. Jeez. Why not have sane defaults? Why not have it do 1 thing and do it right?
