I know that ADK can be circumvented by a determined attacker, but it
strikes me as a useful feature, and I have never quite understood the
opposition to it.  It would have made encryption more palatable in
corporate settings, which surely would have been a good thing!

IMO there are two possibilities: 1) your users are forgetful but honest, 2) your users are dishonest.

For case 1, an equivalent of ADK can be obtained with a line on GPG's configuration file.

For case 2, you are screwed, and ADK is only going to give you a false sense of security.

Thus ADK is either pointless or unnecessary.
