Changing a little my question, why I have only three options in my gpg

I think unless you activate the expert options, you get a reduced set of options. I added the line "expert" to my gpg.conf file, and I get the

 The options you miss when generating a new key are the options where
you can chose the capabilities the key will have, and since a mistake
there can create a useless (for your purposes) key, they are available
only to experts (or to call them other way, to not-newbies).

Just right. As a general rule, people should never need --expert to do regular OpenPGP-ish things (make keys, encrypt stuff, etc).
