not really... 15-20 years ago while working for a bank edp/it dpt, PGP was required almost for half the email volume. so it was/is not just a geeky thing, industry used it also.. using it back then with locked down corp outlook+pgp plugin.. i guess these days is even more broadly used in that sector.. (to hide their scam mostly :D ) lately even public sector required pgp encrypted emails for some transactions. also, lots of activists (since pre-snowden era) required GPG for internal coms + OTR for chats... Thunderbird+enigmail was/is the easier/free way for non-techy people to setup gpg.. lots of guides around, w/ https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org being most commonly known... (TB78 broke this..) so, maybe these are not the majority of email users, but certainly gpg is not exclusively used by a few geeks... just take a look at keyservers stats..: there's a few million keys already... and those are just a fraction of keys since not everyone uploads their keys.. 2c. d.
