Nobody's making a PGP alternative because a major part of what makes PGP bad is that it tries to be a generic solution to every problem, when in practice signing and encryption workflows are incredibly domain-specific.

People are continuously creating better tools for domains that historically saw PGP usage. To name a few: Signal for short-form messaging, age for file encryption, signify/minisign for artifact signing.
